Triangles  A triangle is a 3- sided polygon. Every triangle has three sides and three angles. When added together, the three angles equal 180°.

Acute Triangles  An acute has three angles that are less than 90°.  Remember AAAA.  ALL ANGLES ARE ACUTE!

Obtuse Triangles  An obtuse triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is greater than 90° and the other two angles are acute.  One obtuse angle and Two acute angles

Right Triangles  A right triangle is triangle with an angle of 90°.  One right angle and two acute angles

Scalene Triangles  A triangle with three unequal sides.  The “mean scalene” doesn’t want to get along. All of the sides are different lengths!

Isosceles Triangles  To remember this triangle….. “eye” …soceles” It will remind me that I have 2 eyes. The “e-l-e-s” at the end is close to how we spell the word eyes.  An isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same (equal in length).  It has at least 2 acute angles. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. When two sides are the same we call them CONGRUENT.

Equilateral Triangles  An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides of equal length  All the angles will be the same size (acute).  Equilateral you are so fine, all your sides are the same size!
