Definition

Scalene triangle: A scalene triangle is a triangle that has no equal sides. Each line of this triangle is of different length.

Definition

Equilateral Triangle: A triangle in which all three sides are of equal lengths is called an equilateral triangle.

Definition

Isosceles Triangle: A triangle in which two sides are of equal lengths is called an isosceles triangle.

Notes

Isosceles Triangle:

  • A triangle in which two sides are of equal lengths is called an isosceles triangle.

  • A triangle is said to be isosceles if at least any two of its sides are of the same length.

  • The non-equal side of an isosceles triangle is called its base.

  • The base angles of an isosceles triangle have equal measure.

  • An equilateral triangle satisfies all the properties of an isosceles triangle, whereas it is not necessary for an isosceles triangle to satisfy all the properties of an equilateral triangle.

           

Notes

Equilateral Triangle:

  • A triangle in which all three sides are of equal lengths is called an equilateral triangle.

  • A triangle is said to be equilateral if each one of its sides has the same length.

  • An equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. Thus, In an equilateral triangle, each angle has measure 60°.     

       

Notes

Scalene triangle:

  • A scalene triangle is a triangle that has no equal sides.
  • Each line of this triangle is of different length.
  • It has no equal sides.
  • It has no equal angles.
  • It has no line symmetry.
  • The angles inside this triangle can be an acute, obtuse, or right angle.
