๐ Topic Summary
Triangles are shapes with three sides and three angles. We can classify them by looking at their sides and angles. By their sides, triangles can be equilateral (all sides equal), isosceles (two sides equal), or scalene (no sides equal). By their angles, triangles can be acute (all angles less than 90 degrees), right (one angle is 90 degrees), or obtuse (one angle greater than 90 degrees). Let's explore each type in more detail!

| 3. Scalene | C. A triangle with one 90-degree angle. |
| 4. Right | D. A triangle with two sides equal. |
| 5. Obtuse | E. A triangle with no sides equal. |
