If the three lines or sides of a triangle are all right, it is a plane or rectilinear triangle.If all the three sides are equal, it is an equilateral triangle.If two of the sides only are equal, it is an isosceles or equicrural triangle.If all the three sides are unequal, it is a scalene or scalenous triangle.If one of the angles is a right angle, the triangle is rectangular.If one of the angles is obtuse, the triangle is called obtusangular or amblygonous.If all the angles are acute, the triangle is acutangular or oxygonous.If the three lines of a triangle are all curves, the triangle is said to be curvilinear.If some of the sides are right and others curve, the triangle is said to be mixtilinear.If the sides are all arcs of great circles of the sphere, the triangle is said to be spherical. |
