Triangles can be classified by sides—equilateral (all sides equal), isosceles (two equal sides), scalene (all sides different)—or by angles—acute (all angles < 90°), right (one angle = 90°), obtuse (one angle > 90°). For example, a triangle with side lengths 3, 3, 5 is isosceles, while one with angles 30°, 60°, 90° is right-angled. Such classifications underlie geometry proofs and real-world designs like roof trusses, bridging shape fundamentals with practical engineering. Identifying the triangle type sets the stage for using the right formulas or theorems to solve deeper geometric questions.
