Triangle and its Types
Triangle and its Types: Overview
This topic defines triangles and their classification on the basis of its sides, such as scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles. Angle-based classification of the same, such as acute, obtuse and right-angle triangles is also mentioned here.
