Identifying Triangles

When Identifying a triangle it can be described by the angle, which I had discussed earlier in a previous blog, meaning acute, obtuse or right. This is not the only way to identify a triangle. Triangles can be determined by the length of its sides. There are three terms I want to teach you, scalene, isosceles, and equilateral. 

Scalene triangle is when all three sides are different lengths. 





Isosceles triangle is when at least two sides of the triangle are equal.





Equilateral triangle is when all three sides of the triangle are equal.




It is easy to remember Equilateral triangle because you pronounce equal in the word, meaning all sides are equal. Scalene makes me think of a something scaly, which means non of the sides are equal. And lastly Isosceles sounds like your saying I saw atleast, meaning at least two sides are equal. Hope this helped in remembering these three identification terms for triangles!
