7. Classifying Triangles
A triangle classified by its sides can also be classified by its angles. Draw a horizontal
or vertical line from classification to classification if there existst a triangle that can
be classified by both. Start at “Equilateral” and make your way through the maze
until you reach another “Equilateral”. You can only move one box at a time!
