why is the isosceles triangle and the equilateral both classified as each other

because an equilateral triangle is all equill sides and an isosceles triangle is two or more equill sides

Is their any more triangle practices?

No. You will have to do them over if you want extra practice.

um whenever i double tap a question it ameatiatily says its wrong

dont double tap just tap and check

I don’t understand why an equilateral triangle is constantly being defined as and Isosceles triangle.

An equilateral triangle has 3 equal length sides. An isosceles triangle has at least 2 sides of the same length. Thus all equilateral triangles are also isosceles.

this was so easy ;-; >:(

ITS NOT IF YOUR ON AN IPAD! Sorry but you must drag the lines together and it’s really frustrating.

Lesson 4: Classifying triangles

Types of triangles review

Google Classroom

Review ways to classify triangles based on their sides lengths and angles. Practice classifying triangles.

Classifying triangles by their angles

Acute triangles

An start color #11accd, start text, a, c, u, t, e, end text, end color #11accd triangle has start color #11accd, start text, 3, space, a, n, g, l, e, s, space, t, h, a, t, end text, end color #11accd start color #11accd, start text, e, a, c, h, space, m, e, a, s, u, r, e, space, l, e, s, s, space, t, h, a, n, space, end text, 90, degrees, end color #11accd. Below are examples of start color #11accd, start text, a, c, u, t, e, space, t, r, i, a, n, g, l, e, s, end text, end color #11accd.

Right triangles

A start color #7854ab, start text, r, i, g, h, t, end text, end color #7854ab triangle has start color #7854ab, start text, 1, space, a, n, g, l, e, space, t, h, a, t, space, m, e, a, s, u, r, e, s, space, end text, 90, degrees, end color #7854ab and 2 acute angles. Below are examples of start color #7854ab, start text, r, i, g, h, t, space, t, r, i, a, n, g, l, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab.

Obtuse triangles

An start color #1fab54, start text, o, b, t, u, s, e, end text, end color #1fab54 triangle has start color #1fab54, start text, o, n, e, space, a, n, g, l, e, space, t, h, a, t, space, m, e, a, s, u, r, e, s, end text, end color #1fab54 start color #1fab54, start text, m, o, r, e, space, t, h, a, n, space, end text, 90, degrees, end color #1fab54 and 2 acute angles. Below are examples of start color #1fab54, start text, o, b, t, u, s, e, space, t, r, i, a, n, g, l, e, s, end text, end color #1fab54.

Equilateral triangles

An start color #11accd, start text, e, q, u, i, l, a, t, e, r, a, l, end text, end color #11accd triangle has start color #11accd, start text, t, h, r, e, e, space, e, q, u, a, l, space, s, i, d, e, s, end text, end color #11accd. Below are examples of start color #11accd, start text, e, q, u, i, l, a, t, e, r, a, l, end text, end color #11accd triangles.

Isosceles triangles

An start color #7854ab, start text, i, s, o, s, c, e, l, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab triangle has start color #7854ab, start underline, start text, a, t, space, l, e, a, s, t, end text, end underline, end color #7854ab start color #7854ab, start text, t, w, o, space, e, q, u, a, l, space, s, i, d, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab. Below are examples of start color #7854ab, start text, i, s, o, s, c, e, l, e, s, end text, end color #7854ab triangles.

Scalene triangles

A start color #1fab54, start text, s, c, a, l, e, n, e, end text, end color #1fab54 triangle has start color #1fab54, start text, n, o, space, e, q, u, a, l, space, s, i, d, e, s, end text, end color #1fab54. Below are examples of start color #1fab54, start text, s, c, a, l, e, n, e, end text, end color #1fab54 triangles.
