can someone please give me a chart of triangles and what there called like scalene right or equilateral obtuse

thank you!
You're welcome.
Certainly! I can help explain different types of triangles and their names to you. However, instead of giving you a pre-made chart, I will explain how you can identify triangles based on their characteristics.
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The names of triangles are generally based on the lengths of their sides or the measures of their angles. Here are some common types of triangles:
1. Scalene triangle: In a scalene triangle, all three sides have different lengths. None of the angles are equal. So, if you measure the lengths of the sides and find that they are all different, it's a scalene triangle.
2. Equilateral triangle: An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. All three angles in an equilateral triangle are also equal, measuring 60 degrees each. So, if you measure the lengths of the sides and find that they are all the same, it's an equilateral triangle.
3. Isosceles triangle: In an isosceles triangle, two sides have the same length, while the third side is different. Two angles are also equal in an isosceles triangle. To identify an isosceles triangle, measure the lengths of the sides and find that two of them are the same.
4. Right triangle: A right triangle has one angle that measures 90 degrees, known as the right angle. The other two angles are acute and add up to 90 degrees. To identify a right triangle, measure the angles and find that one of them is 90 degrees.
5. Obtuse triangle: An obtuse triangle has one angle measuring more than 90 degrees, known as the obtuse angle. The other two angles are acute and add up to less than 90 degrees. To identify an obtuse triangle, measure the angles and find that one of them is greater than 90 degrees.
Remember, these are just a few common types of triangles, and there are other classifications as well. To create a chart, you can simply list the different types of triangles and provide their defining characteristics, such as side lengths and angle measurements.
