Time to Take on Triangles!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to our Kindergarten days where identifying a triangle meant that the shape had three sides and three points? I miss that... Now we know there are many different types of triangles! They each are identified differently and have certain characteristics that classify them as a certain type of triangle. When we started this Geometry unit I could only remember four types of triangles: Right, Isosceles, Acute, and Obtuse. However, I couldn't remember how to identify these triangles either. Upon further research I discovered that there are two other triangles: Equilateral and Scalene. I found a great video from Khan Academy that gave me lot of good information on these triangles. I didn't realize before that Scalene, Equilateral, and Isosceles triangles are triangles that are triangles that have equal sides or at least two sides that are equal. Acute, Right, and Obtuse triangles are triangles that are classified by their angles. T...
