A triangle is a polygon formed by joining three non-collinear points. Triangles can be classified based on their side lengths or angles. There are three types of triangles based on sides: equilateral (all sides equal), isosceles (two sides equal), and scalene (all sides unequal). Based on angles, triangles are right (one 90 degree angle), acute (all angles less than 90 degrees), or obtuse (one angle greater than 90 degrees). A triangle is thus defined as a three-sided polygon where the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees.
