​

• There are many different types of triangles. Triangles can be classified by their sides.

• There are three special names given to triangles that tell how many sides are equal.​

​How many sides are the same?

​

​How to Remember?

• ​Equilateral: "equal"-lateral (lateral means side) so they have all equal sides

• Isosceles: means "equal legs", and we have two legs, right?   Also iSOSceles has two equal "Sides" joined by an "Odd" side.

• Scalene: means "uneven" or "odd", so no equal sides.

Triangles can be classified by the measure of their angles.
