4-1 CLASSIFYING
TRIANGLES
Ch. 4 Test Tuesday Nov. 25th *
*If you leave early for Thanksgiving, take the
test BEFORE you go!!
TYPES OF TRIANGLES (BY ANGLES)
Acute
All acute angles
Right
1 right angle
Obtuse
1 obtuse angle
Equiangular
3 congruent angles
Example
Classify the triangle as acute, equiangular, obtuse,
or right.
Answer: 3 congruent angles so it’s an equiangular
triangle.
Example
Classify the triangle as acute, equiangular, obtuse,
or right.
Answer: One angle of the triangle measures 130°, so
it is an obtuse triangle.
TOO
The frame of this window design is
made up of many triangles. Classify
ΔACD.
A. acute
B. equiangular
C. obtuse
D. right
Example
Classify ΔXYZ as acute, equiangular, obtuse, or
right. Explain your reasoning.
m<XYZ = 40 + 50 = 90.
Answer: Since ΔXYZ has a right angle, it is a right triangle.
TYPES OF TRIANGLES (BY SIDES)
Scalene
Isosceles
The base is the
non-congruent side
No congruent sides
Equilateral
2 congruent sides
3 congruent sides
Example
If point Y is the midpoint of VX,
and WY = 3.0 units, classify
ΔVWY as equilateral, isosceles,
or scalene. Explain your
reasoning.
By the definition of midpoint, VY = YX.
VY= 4.2
So, VW = 4.5 units, WY = 3.0 units, and VY = 4.2 units.
Answer: Since all three sides have different lengths,
the triangle is scalene.
TWAP
The frame of this window design is
made up of many triangles. Classify
ΔABC. Be ready to justify your answer
A. isosceles
B. equilateral
C. scalene
D. right
TOO
If point C is the midpoint of BD,
classify ΔABC as equilateral,
isosceles, or scalene.
A. equilateral
B. isosceles
C. scalene
Example
ALGEBRA Find the measures of the
sides __
of isosceles triangle KLM with
base KL.
Find d.
KM = ML
4d – 13 = 12 – d
5d – 13 = 12
5d = 25
d =5
Are we done????
NO!! Find the sides.
Example continued
Step 2
Substitute to find the length of each side.
KM = 4d – 13
= 4(5) – 13 or 7
ML = KM
KM = 7
KL = d + 6
= 5 + 6 or 11
Answer: KM = ML = 7, KL = 11
TWAP
Find x and the measure of each side of equilateral
triangle ABC if AB = 6x – 8, BC = 7 + x, and
AC = 13 – x.
A. x = 10; all sides are 3.
B. x = 6; all sides are 13.
C. x = 3; all sides are 10.
D. x = 3; all sides are 16.
