Classify Triangles by Angles

A. Classify the triangle as acute, equiangular,


obtuse, or right.

Answer: The triangle has three congruent angles. It is


an equiangular triangle.
Classify Triangles by Angles

B. Classify the triangle as acute, equiangular,


obtuse, or right.

Answer: One angle of the triangle measures 130°, so


it is an obtuse angle. The triangle has an
obtuse angle, so it is an obtuse triangle.

window design is made up of many
triangles. Classify ΔACD.

A. acute

B. equiangular

C. obtuse

D. right
B. ARCHITECTURE The frame of this

Classify Triangles by Angles Within Figures

Classify ΔXYZ as acute, equiangular, obtuse, or


right. Explain your reasoning.
Point W is in the interior
of XYZ, so by the Angle
Addition Postulate,
mXYW + mWYZ = mXYZ.
By substitution,
mXYZ = 40 + 50 = 90.

Answer: Since ΔXYZ has a right angle, it is a right


triangle.
Classify ΔACD as acute,
equiangular, obtuse, or right.

A. acute

B. equiangular

C. obtuse

D. right
Classify Triangles by Sides

ARCHITECTURE The
triangle truss shown is
modeled for steel
construction. Classify
ΔJMN, ΔJKO, and ΔOLN
as equilateral, isosceles,
or scalene.

Answer: ΔJMN has no congruent sides, so it is a


scalene triangle. ΔJKO has no congruent
sides, so it is a scalene triangle. ΔOLN has all
sides congruent, so it is an equilateral triangle.
ARCHITECTURE The frame of this
window design is made up of many
triangles. Classify ΔABC.

A. isosceles

B. equilateral

C. scalene

D. right
Classify Triangles by Sides Within Figures

If point Y is the midpoint of VX,


and WY = 3.0 units, classify
ΔVWY as equilateral, isosceles,
or scalene. Explain your
reasoning.
By the definition of midpoint, VY = YX.

VY + YX = VX Segment Addition Postulate


VY + VY = 8.4 Substitution
2VY = 8.4 Simplify.
VY = 4.2 Divide each side by 2.
Classify Triangles by Sides Within Figures

So, VW = 4.5 units, WY = 3.0 units, and


VY = 4.2 units.

Answer: Since all three sides have different lengths,


the triangle is scalene.
If point C is the midpoint of BD,
classify ΔABC as equilateral,
isosceles, or scalene.

A. equilateral

B. isosceles

C. scalene
Finding Missing Values

ALGEBRA Find the measures of the


sides __
of isosceles triangle KLM with
base KL.

Step 1 Find d.
KM = ML Given
4d – 13 = 12 – d Substitution
5d – 13 = 12 Add d to each side.
5d = 25 Add 13 to each side.
d =5 Divide each side by 5.
Finding Missing Values

Step 2 Substitute to find the length of each side.


KM = 4d – 13 Given
= 4(5) – 13 or 7 d=5
ML = KM Given
=7 KM = 7
KL = d + 6 Given
= 5 + 6 or 11 d=5

Answer: KM = ML = 7, KL = 11
ALGEBRA Find x and the measure of each side of
equilateral triangle ABC if AB = 6x – 8, BC = 7 + x,
and AC = 13 – x.

A. x = 10; all sides are 3.

B. x = 6; all sides are 13.

C. x = 3; all sides are 10.

D. x = 3; all sides are 16.
