Types of Triangles Game

Types of Triangles Game
Triangles are three-sided polygons that can be classified using two independent criteria: the length of their sides and the measure of their internal angles. Length of sides: Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene. Size of angles: Acute, Obtuse, Right. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
In this game, you first select the challenge “Classify by Sides”, “Classify by Angles”, or “Mixed Challenge”. Then select the type of triangle given its properties. If you give a wrong answer, the game will provide the correct answer.

How to Play the Types of Triangles Game
In this game, you need to identify the type of triangle given its property.
Here’s how to play:

1. Choose your challenge: Select the challenge “Classify by Sides”, “Classify by Angles”, or “Mixed Challenge”.
   
2. Classify by Sides: You will be given the lengths of the three sides of a triangle. Select the correct answer for the type of triangle.
   
3. Classify by Angles: You will be given the measures of the three internal angles of a triangle. Select the correct answer for the type of triangle.
   
4. Enter Your Answer: Select the answer. The game will tell you if you’re correct. If you are wrong, you will be shown the correct answer.
   
5. Get a New Problem: Click the “Next” button for a new problem.

Classification by Side Lengths

1. Equilateral
   All three sides are equal in length. All three angles are also always equal (60° each).
   
2. Isosceles
   At least two sides are equal in length. The angles opposite the equal sides (the base angles) are also equal.
   
3. Scalene
   No sides are equal in length. All three angles are different measures.
    
   

Classification by Internal Angles

1. Acute
   All three angles are less than 90° (acute angles).
   
2. Right
   Has exactly one angle that measures 90° (a right angle). The two non-right angles must be complementary (add up to 90°).
   
3. Obtuse
   Has exactly one angle that is greater than 90° but less than 180° (an obtuse angle). The other two angles must be acute.
