Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: TRIANGLE BASICS Classify each triangle by the ... - Midway ISD
Let’s solve each part of the worksheet step by step.

---

## Part 1: Classify each triangle by the length of its SIDES

1. Triangle with all angles 60° and all sides marked with single tick marks


- All three sides are equal (indicated by identical tick marks).
- Classification: Equilateral triangle

> Answer: Equilateral

---

2. Triangle with a right angle and two sides marked with single tick marks


- Two sides are equal (tick marks), and one angle is 90°.
- This is an isosceles right triangle — but since we’re classifying by *side lengths*, it’s isosceles.
- (Note: “Isosceles” means at least two sides equal — which is true here.)

> Answer: Isosceles

---

3. Triangle with angles 45°, 70°, 65° and all three sides marked differently (single, double, triple tick marks)


- All three sides have different markings → all sides are unequal.
- Classification: Scalene triangle

> Answer: Scalene

---

## Part 2: Classify each triangle by its ANGLES

4. Triangle with angles 45°, 70°, 65°


- All angles are less than 90° → acute triangle
- (Even though side lengths vary, we’re classifying by angles.)

> Answer: Acute

---

5. Triangle with all angles 60°


- All angles < 90° → still acute
- Also equiangular, but classification by angles is acute

> Answer: Acute

---

6. Triangle with a right angle (square symbol) and two sides equal (tick marks)


- Has one 90° angle → right triangle
- (We ignore side equality for angle classification — just look at angles.)

> Answer: Right

---

## Part 3: Find the value of ‘x’ in each of the following

7. Triangle with angles x°, 52°, and 35°


- The sum of interior angles in any triangle is always 180°.
- So:

> x + 52 + 35 = 180

> x + 87 = 180

> x = 180 - 87 = 93

> Answer: 93

---

## Final Answers:

1. Equilateral
2. Isosceles
3. Scalene
4. Acute
5. Acute
6. Right
7. 93
