Types of Triangles - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

The measure of angle C is 90°, therefore it is a right angle.

If one of the angles of the triangle is right, it is a right triangle.

As all the angles of a triangle are less than 90° and the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180°:

$70+70+40=180$

The triangle is isosceles.

Given that in an obtuse triangle it is enough for one of the angles to be greater than 90°, and in the given triangle we have an angle C greater than 90°,

$C=107$

Furthermore, the sum of the angles of the given triangle is 180 degrees so it is indeed a triangle:

$107+34+39=180$

The triangle is obtuse.

Given that sides AB and AC are both equal to 9, which means that the legs of the triangle are equal and the base BC is equal to 5,

Therefore, the triangle is isosceles.

As we know that sides AB, BC, and CA are all equal to 6,

All are equal to each other and, therefore, the triangle is equilateral.

Since none of the sides have the same length, it is a scalene triangle.

Due to the presence of the 90 degree angle symbol we can determine that this is indeed a right-angled triangle.

In a right-angled triangle, there is one angle that equals 90 degrees, and the other two angles sum up to 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore, the sum of the two non-right angles is 90 degrees

$90+90=180$

As is known, a scalene triangle is a triangle in which each side has a different length.

According to the given information, this is indeed a triangle where each side has a different length.

It can be seen that all angles in the given triangle are less than 90 degrees.

In a right-angled triangle, there needs to be one angle that equals 90 degrees

Since this condition is not met, the triangle is not a right-angled triangle.

Let's note in which of the triangles angle B forms a right angle, meaning an angle of 90 degrees.

In answers C+D, we can see that angle B is smaller than 90 degrees.

In answer A, it is equal to 90 degrees.

Remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180.

In an equilateral triangle, all sides and all angles are equal to each other.

Therefore, we will calculate as follows:

$x+x+x=180$

$3x=180$

We divide both sides by 3:

$x=60$

Since in the given triangle all angles are equal, all sides are also equal.

It is known that in an equilateral triangle the measure of the angles will always be equal to 60° since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees:

$60+60+60=180$

Therefore, it is an equilateral triangle.

Since the triangle is equilateral, that is, all sides are equal to each other.

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of all sides together, the perimeter of the triangle in the drawing is equal to:

$5+5+5=15$

We know that in an equilateral triangle all sides are equal.

Therefore, if we know that one side is equal to X, then all sides are equal to X.

We know that the perimeter of the triangle is 33.

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the sides together.

We replace the data:

$x+x+x=33$

$3x=33$

We divide the two sections by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}$

$x=11$
