Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
---
Part 1: Classify each triangle as Scalene, Isosceles, or Equilateral
We classify triangles based on their
side lengths:
-
Scalene: All sides are of different lengths.
-
Isosceles: Two sides are equal.
-
Equilateral: All three sides are equal.
#### 1. Triangle ABC
- AB = 5 cm
- BC = 4 cm
- AC = 4.2 cm
→ All sides are different →
Scalene
#### 2. Triangle PQR
- PQ = 6 cm
- PR = 6 cm
- QR = 8 cm
→ Two sides equal (PQ = PR) →
Isosceles
#### 3. Triangle XYZ
- XY = 8 cm
- YZ = 8 cm
- XZ = 8 cm
→ All sides equal →
Equilateral
#### 4. Triangle UVW
- UV = 4 cm
- VW = 8 cm
- UW = 7 cm
→ All sides different →
Scalene
#### 5. Triangle LMN
- LN = 3 cm
- LM = 6.2 cm
- MN = 6.2 cm
→ Two sides equal (LM = MN) →
Isosceles

Part 2: Classify each triangle as Acute, Right, or Obtuse
We classify based on angles:
-
Acute: All angles < 90°
-
Right: One angle = 90°
-
Obtuse: One angle > 90°
#### 1. Triangle with a 90° angle (right angle symbol)
→ Has a 90° angle →
Right
#### 2. Triangle with a 120° angle
→ One angle is greater than 90° →
Obtuse
#### 3. Triangle with angles 70°, 60°, and 50°
- Check sum: 70 + 60 + 50 = 180° ✔️
- All angles < 90° →
Acute
#### 4. Triangle with a 90° angle (right angle symbol)
→ Has a 90° angle →
Right
#### 5. Triangle with angles 110°, 40°, 30°
- Sum: 110 + 40 + 30 = 180° ✔️
- One angle (110°) > 90° →
Obtuse
