Math Problem Statement
Classify this triangle by its sides.
Solution
In the image, you are asked to classify a triangle based on its sides. Observing the markings on the triangle, it has two sides of equal length, indicated by the tick marks on those two sides. The presence of two equal sides means this triangle is isoceles.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- Isosceles but not equilateral
Would you like a further explanation of the types of triangles, or do you have any questions?
Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:
- How does an equilateral triangle differ from an isosceles triangle?
- What characteristics define a scalene triangle?
- How can you determine a triangle's classification by just looking at its angles?
- Can a triangle be both isosceles and right-angled?
- Why is an equilateral triangle also considered isosceles?
Tip: Remember, an isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, while an equilateral triangle has all three sides equal.
