You will need<br />

• a millimetre ruler<br />

• a protractor<br />

equilateral<br />

triangle<br />

a triangle with<br />

three equal sides<br />

1. A triangle is a polygon with three straight sides and three<br />

vertices. Use side lengths to classify the triangles in the<br />

picture of a crane below.<br />

a) Which triangle is an equilateral triangle<br />

b) Which triangle is an isosceles triangle<br />

c) Which triangle is a scalene triangle<br />

isosceles<br />

triangle<br />

a triangle with<br />

exactly two equal<br />

sides<br />

scalene triangle<br />

a triangle with no<br />

equal sides<br />

2. Use angles to classify the triangles<br />

in the picture of a crane.<br />

a) Which triangle is an acute<br />

triangle 3<br />

b) Which triangle is an obtuse<br />

triangle 1<br />

c) Which triangle is a right<br />

triangle 2<br />

acute triangle<br />

a triangle with<br />

each angle less<br />

than 908<br />

obtuse triangle<br />

a triangle with<br />

one angle that is<br />

greater than 908<br />

right triangle<br />

a triangle with<br />

one angle that is<br />

equal to 908<br />

3. Measure the side lengths and interior angles of the triangles<br />

below. Use millimetres for the side lengths. Record the<br />

measurements on the diagrams.<br />
