7-5 Triangles
A triangle is a closed figure with three line
segments and three angles. Triangles can be
classified by the measures of their angles. An
acute triangle has only acute angles. An
obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle. A
right triangle has one right angle.
Acute triangle
Course 1
Obtuse triangle
Right triangle
7-5 Triangles
To decide whether a triangle is acute, obtuse,
or right, you need to know the measures of
its angles.
The sum of the measures of the
angles in any triangle is 180°. You
can see this if you tear the
corners from a triangle and
arrange them around a point on a
line.
By knowing the sum of the measures of
the angles in a triangle, you can find
unknown angle measures.

Additional Example 1: Application
Sara designed this triangular trophy. The
measure of E is 38°, and the measure
of F is 52°. Classify the triangle.
To classify the triangle, find the
measure of D on the trophy.
m
D = 180° – (38° + 52°)
E
D
F
D = 180° – 90° Subtract the sum of the
known angle measures
m D = 90°
from 180°
So the measure of D is 90°. Because DEF has
one right angle, the trophy is a right triangle.

Sara designed this triangular trophy. The
measure of E is 22°, and the measure
of F is 22°. Classify the triangle.
To classify the triangle, find the
measure of D on the trophy.
m
E
D
F
D = 180° – (22° + 22°)
m D = 180° – 44° Subtract the sum of the
known angle measures
m D = 136°
from 180°
So the measure of D is 136°. Because DEF has
one obtuse angle, the trophy is an obtuse triangle.

Triangles can be classified by the lengths
of their sides. A scalene triangle has no
congruent sides. An isosceles triangle
has at least two congruent sides. An
equilateral triangle has three congruent
sides.

Classify the triangle. The sum of the lengths
of the sides is 19.5 in.
