Math Example--Polygons--Triangle Classification: Example 17

Topic

Triangles

Description

This example shows a triangle with angles measuring 90°, 60°, and 30°. Since one angle is exactly 90°, the triangle is classified as a right triangle.

Triangle classification often considers angle measures, with right triangles defined by having one 90° angle. Observing multiple examples allows students to consistently apply this classification rule.

Reviewing various worked-out examples helps students solidify their understanding of identifying triangle types based on angle measurements.

Teacher's Script: "Here, one angle is 90°, so we classify this as a right triangle. Recognizing the presence of a right angle lets us apply the correct classification."
