Triangles

Description

This example shows a triangle with three sides labeled as x, all equal in length. Since all sides are congruent, the triangle is classified as equilateral.

Triangles can be categorized by side length or angle measures. An equilateral triangle has all congruent sides and angles. Reviewing multiple examples helps students recognize triangle classifications by observing side and angle patterns.

Providing several examples reinforces students’ ability to consistently classify triangles based on the observed properties.

Teacher's Script: "In this triangle, all sides are the same, so we classify it as equilateral. Recognizing equal side lengths lets us make the right classification."
