What Makes Triangles Special?
Triangles are amazing shapes with three sides and three angles.
Did you know that all triangles are not the same? They come in different types based on their sides and angles. Let's explore these special shapes together!
The Three Main Types by Sides
1️⃣ Equilateral: All three sides are equal, all angles are 60°
2️⃣ Isosceles: Two sides are equal, two angles are equal
3️⃣ Scalene: All sides are different, all angles are different
