Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the worksheet.
---
Part 1: State for each triangle whether it is Scalene, Isosceles or Equilateral
Remember:
-
Scalene: All sides are different lengths.
-
Isosceles: Exactly two sides are equal.
-
Equilateral: All three sides are equal.
Now check each triangle:
1. Triangle ABC: Sides = 5 cm, 4.2 cm, 4 cm → all different →
Scalene
2. Triangle PQR: Sides = 6 cm, 6 cm, 8 cm → two sides equal →
Isosceles
3. Triangle XYZ: Sides = 8 cm, 8 cm, 8 cm → all equal →
Equilateral
4. Triangle UVW: Sides = 7 cm, 8 cm, 4 cm → all different →
Scalene
5. Triangle LMN: Sides = 3 cm, 6.2 cm, 6.2 cm → two sides equal →
Isosceles

Part 2: State each triangle whether it is acute, right or obtuse
Remember:
-
Right triangle: Has one angle exactly 90°.
-
Obtuse triangle: Has one angle greater than 90°.
-
Acute triangle: All angles less than 90°.
Check each triangle:
1. First triangle (bottom left in top row): has a 90° mark →
Right
2. Second triangle: has 120° → that’s > 90° →
Obtuse
3. Third triangle: angles 70°, 60°, 50° → all < 90° →
Acute
4. Fourth triangle (bottom row, first): has 90° mark →
Right
5. Fifth triangle: angles 110°, 40°, 30° → 110° > 90° →
Obtuse
Wait — let me double-check the last one:
Angles given: 110°, 40°, 30° → sum = 180° ✔️
Since 110° > 90° → definitely
Obtuse
Also, note: The fourth triangle (second in bottom row) shows a 90° angle at the top vertex? Actually, looking again — no, wait: In the image description, the fourth triangle (first in bottom row) has a 90° angle marked with square symbol → so Right. The fifth triangle (second in bottom row) has angles labeled 110°, 40°, 30° → yes, 110° makes it Obtuse.
But hold on — there’s also a sixth triangle? Wait, let’s count:
In Part 2, there are 5 triangles shown:
Top row: 3 triangles
Bottom row: 2 triangles
Yes, total 5.
So:
Triangle 1 (top-left): 90° → Right
Triangle 2 (top-middle): 120° → Obtuse
Triangle 3 (top-right): 70°, 60°, 50° → Acute
Triangle 4 (bottom-left): 90° → Right
Triangle 5 (bottom-middle): 110°, 40°, 30° → Obtuse
All correct.
