The seven types of triangle can be classified (grouped) according to their sides or interior angles as shown below. Click on any triangle to go to its detail page.

Equilateral	Isosceles	Scalene
3 sides equal	2 sides equal	No sides equal

Right	Equiangular	Acute	Obtuse
One angle exactly 90°l	3 angles equal	All 3 angles less than 90°	One angle more than 90°

... I have a small favor to ask. Over the years we have used advertising to support the site so it can remain free for everyone. However, advertising revenue is falling and I have always hated the ads. So, would you go to Patreon and become a patron of the site? When we reach the goal I will remove all advertising from the site.

It only takes a minute and any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering it!   – John Page
