Types of Triangles

There are six types of triangles that can be classified based on either their side lengths or interior angles. Triangles are classified based on their side lengths as scalene, isosceles, or equilateral triangles. They are classified based on their interior angles as acute, obtuse, or right triangles. An acute triangle has interior angles less than 90 degrees, an obtuse triangle has one interior angle greater than 90 degrees, and a right triangle has one 90 degree angle.

Types of Triangles

Six Types of Triangles


Triangles can be broadly classified into two types, which are:

 Triangles based on the lengths of their sides


 Triangles based on their interior angles
These two triangle types are explained here along with their further classifications.

Based on their Sides Based on their Angles

Scalene Triangle Acute Triangle

Isosceles Triangle Obtuse Triangle

Equilateral Triangle Right –angled Triangle

Scalene Triangle

 all side lengths of different


measures

 all the interior angles are also


different.
Isosceles Triangle

 Lengths of two of the three sides


are equal.

 The angles opposite the equal


sides are equal to each other.
.

Equilateral Triangle

• All the lengths of the sides are


equal.
• each of the interior angles will have
a measure of 60 degrees
Types of Triangles Based on Angles

Acute Triangle
- all the three interior angles are acute

- interior angles are less than 90 degree

Obtuse Triangle
one of the three interior angles has a measure greater than 90 degrees
if one of the angles in a triangle is an obtuse angle, then the triangle is called an
obtuse-angled triangle.

Right Triangle
A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees.
the side opposite to the right angle (90-degree angle) will be the longest side and is called
the hypotenuse.
