Math Problem Statement
Name the type of the triangle in two different ways. (3) (i) ∆XYZ with ∠Z = 90° (ii) ∆ PQR such that PQ = QR = PR = 5 cm ∠L = 30°, (iii) Triangle with lengths of sides 7 cm, 8 cm and 9 cm.
Solution
Let's analyze each triangle and determine its type in two different ways:
-
(i) ∆XYZ with ∠Z = 90°
- Type 1: Right-angled triangle (since it has a 90° angle).
- Type 2: Scalene triangle (assuming the sides are all different).
-
(ii) ∆PQR such that PQ = QR = PR = 5 cm
- Type 1: Equilateral triangle (all sides are equal).
- Type 2: Acute-angled triangle (all angles are less than 90°, and in an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60°).
-
(iii) Triangle with lengths of sides 7 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm
- Type 1: Scalene triangle (all sides are different).
- Type 2: Acute-angled triangle (since the square of the longest side is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, meaning all angles are less than 90°).

Here are five related questions for further practice:
- What is the definition of an obtuse-angled triangle?
- How can you classify triangles based on their angles?
- Can a scalene triangle ever be equilateral?
- What is the Pythagorean theorem, and how does it apply to right-angled triangles?
- How do you determine if a triangle is acute, obtuse, or right-angled using side lengths?
Tip: For any triangle, you can classify it based on its angles (acute, right, obtuse) and its sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral).
