Math Example--Polygons--Triangle Classification: Example 2

A triangle with side lengths 7, 8, and 9.

Topic

Triangles

Description

This image shows a triangle with sides measuring 7, 8, and 9. The triangle is classified as scalene because each side has a different length, meaning no two sides are congruent.

Triangles can be classified by examining their side lengths or angle measures. Scalene triangles, like the one shown, have no congruent sides, making them unique. This collection of examples helps students understand classification rules and visually identify different triangle types.

Providing multiple examples allows students to see consistent criteria for classifying triangles, reinforcing their learning through repetition.

Teacher's Script: "In this triangle, each side length is different, so we classify it as scalene. Recognizing these variations helps us categorize triangles accurately."
