Big Idea: Triangles can be classified by
their angles.
•What are the different types of triangles? How is each described?
Essential Question
![Page 3: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Think-Pair-ShareLet’s review what you know
about angles.
•What is a right angle?
•exactly 90°, Square Corner
•What is an obtuse angle?
•91°-179°, Bigger than a 90° right angle
•What is an acute angle?
•Smaller than 90°, “aww” cute

Two ways to classify triangles...
•You may describe and classify triangles by their inside angles or by the length of their sides.
•Today, we will classify triangles by their angles.
![Page 5: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How do angles help us describe and classify
triangles?
In order to describe and classify triangles by their angles, we need to use the same descriptions we used to identify angles.
As we learn about classifying angles, you will notice that we must label each of the three angles inside a triangle.
![Page 6: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Right Triangle
A right triangle has exactly ONE right angle.
If it has a square corner - it’s a right
triangle!
![Page 7: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Right TriangleSteps to classify triangles: 1. Label all of the corners.
2. Count how many angles are right, acute, or obtuse.
3. Classify the type by how many types of angles a triangle has.
RIGHT Acute
Acute
This one has only one right angle and two acute angles, so it is a RIGHT TRIANGLE.
![Page 8: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One more helpful step...You may use a paper with a square corner to check a right triangle!
Line up the corner of the right angle triangle and
the corner of the paper to see if it is exactly 90°.
Right
Acute

Label the angles to classify these triangles. Use a corner of paper to check. Do all of the triangles have 1 right angle and 2 acute angles?
Yes, this is also a right triangle!
![Page 10: Triangles I can describe and classify triangles by their angles. Modified by L. Standifer 1/2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dd95503460f94ace06b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
...and more right triangles!

Obtuse Triangle
Has one obtuse angle -
An obtuse triangle has exactly ONE obtuse angle.
If it has an obtuse angle - it’s an obtuse triangle! obtuse

Obtuse Triangle
Remember to use the classifying triangle steps!
1. Label all of the corners.
2. Count how many angles are right, acute, or obtuse.
3. Classify the type by how many types of angles a triangle has.

Obtuse triangles...
Sometimes an angle is hard to classify. You can use the paper trick to make sure an angle is
bigger than a 90° angle.

Acute Triangle
Has three acute angles -
ALL the angles are acute.
If you check all three angles and they are smaller than 90°, it’s
acute!

Are these all acute triangles?
Yes, all of these have three acute angles, so
they are all acute triangles!
