Triangle Type Classifier
Classify a triangle by side lengths (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) and angles (acute, right, obtuse).
Formula
If a²+b²=c² → Right; a²+b²>c² → Acute; a²+b²
Sides: equilateral (all equal), isosceles (two equal), scalene (all different). Angles: determined by comparing a²+b² to c².
Examples
3-4-5 (right)
5-5-5 (equilateral)
5-5-8 (isosceles obtuse)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a scalene triangle?
A triangle with all three sides of different lengths.
How do I check if a triangle is obtuse?
If the square of the longest side is greater than the sum of squares of the other two sides.
