This lesson is taken from Maria Miller's book Math Mammoth Geometry 1, and posted at with permission from the author. Could an equilateral triangle be a right triangle? Possible Answers: Correct answer: Explanation: Because the interior angles of a triangle add up to, and two of Triangle A's interior angles measure, we must simply add the two given angles and subtract from to find the missing angle: Therefore, the missing angle (and the smallest) from Triangle A measures. The three angle measures add up toĭifferent-looking triangles with this information, or are they all identical?ġ4. Draw an isosceles triangle with 75° base angles. So that you get an isosceles triangle with 40° base angles. _ °, _ °, and _ °.Īre two angles in an isosceles triangle that haveĭraw another angle of 40° at B, and then continue its side Then, measure off the two congruent sides, making sure they haveī. Those of your classmates, or draw anotherĭraw any angle. Draw an isosceles right triangle whose two sides Draw a scalene obtuse triangle where one side is 3 cm and another is 7 cm.ĭraw the 7-cm side first, then the 3-cm side forming any obtuse angle with theĬompare your triangle to those of your classmates, or draw anotherĭifferent-looking triangles with this information,ħ. Plot in the coordinate grid an acute scalene triangle.Ħ. “equilateral,” “isosceles,” or “scalene” (by their sides). Or “obtuse” (by their angles), and also as Fill in the table by classifying the triangles labeled as (a), (d), (e), and Lastly, if none of the sides of a triangleĪre congruent (all are different lengths),Ģ. Since the measure of the obtuse angle in an obtuse triangle is greater than 90 degrees, there is less than 90 degrees of the whole 180 degrees in the triangle. Obvious things Obtuse triangle As the post’s title gives away, the first obvious thing to get out of the way. Further, under this equivalence, the orthic triangle of the parent triangle is necessarily isosceles.
“equal”, and lateral means “sided.” Think of itĬongruent, then it is called an isosceles triangle.Īs a “same-legged” triangle, the “legs” being the Obtuse isosceles orthic triangles In a non-right triangle, each of the following six statements (1) implies the others. Length), it is called an equilateral triangle.Įqui- refers to things that are the “same” or This 5th grade geometry lesson defines equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles, and has a variety of exercises, including drawingĮxercises, about these topics for students.
