exterior angle of a polygon
is an angle at a vertex of the polygon, outside the polygon, formed by one side and the extension of an adjacent side
scalene triangle
is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths.
obtuse triangle
is a triangle with one obtuse angle (greater than 90°) and two acute angles.
isosceles triangle
is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. In the figure above, the two equal sides have length and the remaining side has length .
equiangular triangle
is a triangle where all three interior angles are equal in measure. Because the interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180°, each angle is always a third of that, or 60°
right triangle
is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle).
Equilateral triangle
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal.
acute angle
is an angle smaller than a right angle.
remote interior angles
are angles that don’t share a vertex or corner of a triangle with the exterior angle.
