According to Angles

Acute- has three acute angles

Right- has 1 right angle

Obtuse-has 1 obtuse angle

 Classifying Triangles
According to Sides

E
Equilateral- has 3 congruent
sides and angles (What must
the angles be then?)

I
Isosceles-has at least 2
congruent sides and 2

S
congruent angles

Scalene-has no congruent
sides and no congruent angles
