Let’s go through each triangle one by one and classify them based on the instructions.
---
Part 1: Classify by Sides (Equilateral, Isosceles, Scalene)
We look for tick marks on the sides — they show which sides are equal.
-
Triangle 1: No tick marks → all sides different →
Scalene
-
Triangle 2: Two sides have one tick mark each → two sides equal →
Isosceles
-
Triangle 3: No tick marks → all sides different →
Scalene
-
Triangle 4: All three sides have one tick mark → all sides equal →
Equilateral
-
Triangle 5: Two sides have one tick mark each → two sides equal →
Isosceles
-
Triangle 6: No tick marks → all sides different →
Scalene

Part 2: Classify by Angles (Acute, Right, Obtuse)
We look at the angle symbols:
- A square corner = right angle (90°)
- An arc with no special mark = acute (<90°) or obtuse (>90°) — we judge by shape
- If all angles look sharp → acute
- If one angle looks wide (wider than a right angle) → obtuse
- If one angle has a square → right
-
Triangle 7: All angles have arcs, none look wide → all acute →
Acute
-
Triangle 8: One angle has an arc that looks wider than 90° →
Obtuse
-
Triangle 9: Has a square corner →
Right
-
Triangle 10: One angle has an arc that looks wider than 90° →
Obtuse
-
Triangle 11: Has a square corner →
Right
-
Triangle 12: One angle has an arc that looks wider than 90° →
Obtuse
