Name the types of following triangles:

(a) Triangle with lengths of sides 7 cm, 8 cm and 9 cm.


(b) Δ ABC with AB = 8.7 cm, AC = 7 cm and BC = 6 cm.


(c) Δ PQR such that PQ = QR = PR = 5 cm.


(d) Δ DEF with m D = 90°.


(e) Δ XYZ with mY = 90° and XY = YZ.


(f) Δ LMN with mL = 30°, mM = 70° and mN = 80°.

(a) It is a scalene triangle as it has all unequal sides.


A scalene triangle is triangle with all three unequal sides.


(b) ∆ABC is a scalene triangle as it has three unequal sides and according to the property of triangle only scalene triangle has all unequal sides.


(c) ∆PQR is an equilateral triangle as all sides of the triangle is equal and according to the property of equilateral triangle has all equal sides.


(d) ∆DEF Right-angle triangle as it has D = 90° and according to the property of right angle triangle it has one right angle that is 90°.


(e) ∆XYZ Right-angled isosceles angle as it has one right angle of 90° and two equal sides and according to the property of right-angled isosceles triangle is has one right angle with two equal sides.


(f) ∆LMN is an acute angle as it has all the angles less than 90° and according to the property of acute angle it is a triangle with all three angles acute (less than 90°).
