Math Example--Polygons--Triangle Classification: Example 16

Topic

Triangles

Description

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

Triangles are categorized by their side lengths or angle measures. An equilateral triangle has all equal sides and angles, as seen in this example. Reviewing multiple examples reinforces students' understanding of the consistent characteristics that define each triangle type.

Providing multiple worked-out examples helps students confidently apply classification rules to identify triangles by their properties.

Teacher's Script: "In this triangle, all sides are the same, so we classify it as equilateral. Observing equal side lengths helps us apply the correct classification."
