5 Characteristics of the 5 different types of triangles.
Equilateral Triangle
1. The congruent sides of the triangle imply that all the angles are congruent.
2. Each angle of an equilateral triangle has a degree measure of 60.
3. We can also use the converse of this, which is that three congruent angles imply three congruent sides in a triangle.
4. Each of the angles above is 60°.
5. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles.
Scalene Triangles
1. There are 3 angle in any triangle collectively they will add up to 180 degrees.
2. A scalene triangle has no sides of equal length.
3. A Scalene triangle has no equal angles.

2. A scalene triangle has no sides of equal length.
3. A Scalene triangle has no equal angles.
Isosceles Triangles
1. Has two or more congruent sides.
2. The Base Angles of an Isosceles Triangle are congruent.
3. The altitude from the vertex angle of an Isosceles Triangle bisects the opposite side.
4. Two sides equal in length.
5. Base angles are always equal.

4. Two sides equal in length.
5. Base angles are always equal.
Right Triangle
1. The right triangle is one of the most important geometrical figures, used in many applications for thousands of years.
2. Used with the Pythagorean Theory
3. A right triangle is any triangle where one of the angles is exactly 90 degrees, or a right angle.
4.The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse, it is always found opposite the right angle.
5. The most useful triangle you could use in math.
