Classifying Triangles Calculator: Identify Triangle Types by Sides & Angles

Classify Your Triangle Instantly

Use our free Classifying Triangles Calculator to quickly determine the type of any triangle. Input side lengths to classify as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, and find out if it's a right, acute, or obtuse triangle. Ideal for geometry students and quick reference.

Formula:

This calculator classifies triangles based on their side lengths (a, b, c) into two categories:

  • By Sides:
    • Equilateral: a = b = c
    • Isosceles: Exactly two sides are equal (e.g., a = b, b ≠ c)
    • Scalene: All three sides are different (a ≠ b ≠ c ≠ a)
  • By Angles (where c is the longest side):
    • Right: c2 = a2 + b2 (one angle is 90°)
    • Acute: c2 < a2 + b2 (all angles are less than 90°)
    • Obtuse: c2 > a2 + b2 (one angle is greater than 90°)
