	Can determine if it is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral		2010-12-01
		From Jessie: find the measures of the sides of triangle KPL and classify each triangle by its sides. my first problem would be K(-3,2) P(2,1) L(-2,-3) ...The three points they give you are the vertices of the triangle and you need to match them up. Draw the triangle and write in the vertices and the related point with the vertex. You will then do the distance formula three times to find the distance of all three sides. Once you have the three sides you can determine if it is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral...using the distance formula how do i solve this? Answered by Penny Nom.

		From Amber: In defining the types of triangles, our class was stumped by a question asked by one of the student. Maybe you could help. The definition of an equilateral triangle is a triangle with three congruent sides. The definiton of an isosceles triangle is a triangle with at LEAST two congruent sides. The question is, if an isosceles triangle only requires at Least two of the sides to be congruent, could an equilateral triangle be called an isosceles triangle?

	An equilateral triangle on a square		1999-04-26
		From Ed: My Grade 8 class and I were discussing the solution to the following problem: What is the area of the largest equilateral triangle that can be drawn on a 5 cm square. We used 5 cm as the base of our triangle and then drew the other two legs of 5 cm each to make the equilateral triangle. We then drew an altitude from the upper vertex to the base of the triangle. Using the law of Pythagoras with side a of 2.5 and side c of 5 we calculated side b to be 4.3 cm (the altitude). Therefore the area of the triangle would be 5 x 4.3 divided by 2 or 10.75 square cm. The answer key to this resource says I am wrong. What do you think? Have we interpreted the question incorrectly? Answered by Chris Fisher and Harley Weston.

	Un triangle équilatéral		2002-10-27
		From Un eleve: Soit ABC un triangle équilatéral construit dans le sens direct. Le point D est symétrique de A par rapport à la droite (BC), et le point E est symétrique de B par rapport au point C. L'intersection des droites (AD) et (BC)est notée H. On pose AB=a. Je dois calculer les longueurs AD et AE en fonction de a. Je dois montrer que le triangle ADE est équilatéral. J'arrive a prouver qu'il est isocèle en E mais j'aimerai trouver que AD=DE. Answered by Claude Tardif.
