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 />
