Give the best name. Scalene Isosceles Equilateral Scalene Isosceles Equilateral Classify by sides. Give the best name. Classify by sides. Give the best name. Scalene Isosceles Equilateral What formula do you use to determine if a triangle is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Answer: The terms scalene, isosceles, and equilateral have to do with side lengths of a triangle so you use the Distance Formula. Classifying by angle measures Acute Obtuse Right Acute Triangle All three angles are less than 900. 400 600 800 Obtuse Triangle One of the three angles is more than 900 1300 200 300 Right Triangle One of the three angles is exactly 900 Classify the following triangles by their sides. Use these signals: Acute Obtuse Right Classify by angles. Acute Obtuse Right Classify by angles. Acute Obtuse Right 1000 Classify by angles. Acute Obtuse Right 450 500 850 Now you should be able to classify any triangle by both its side lengths and its angles.
