QuestionClassify this triangle by its sides and angle

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? What kind of triangle is this if we look at its sides and angles? Watch out! Don't mix up the different types of triangles!

STEP 2

1. Classify by Sides
2. Classify by Angles

STEP 3

Alright, let's **do this**!
We see two sides of the triangle have those little marks on them.
That's math-speak for "these sides are **equal** in length"!
Because two sides are the same, we call this an **isosceles triangle**!
Boom!

STEP 4

Now, let's check out those angles!
See that little square in one of the corners?
That's a **right angle**, my friend, which means it measures 90\text{90}^\circ!
Since one of the angles is a right angle, this triangle is a **right triangle**!
Double boom!

STEP 5

This triangle is both **isosceles** (because it has two equal sides) and **right** (because it has a 90\text{90}^\circ angle).
So, we call it an **isosceles right triangle**!
