Classify Triangles Worksheets

In these free math worksheets, students analyze and classify triangles based on side length, angle measure, or both.

How to classify triangles?
Triangles can be classified based on the length of their sides and the size of their angles.
Here are the common classifications:

Based on the length of the sides:

  • Scalene triangle: A triangle with no equal sides.
  • Isosceles triangle: A triangle with two equal sides.
  • Equilateral triangle: A triangle with three equal sides.

Based on the size of the angles:

  • Acute triangle: A triangle with all three angles less than 90 degrees.
  • Right triangle: A triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees.
  • Obtuse triangle: A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees.

Combining the two classifications, we can have more specific classifications such as:

  • Right isosceles triangle: A triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees and two equal sides.
  • Obtuse scalene triangle: A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees and no equal sides.
  • Acute equilateral triangle: A triangle with all three angles less than 90 degrees and three equal sides.
