y internal angles

Triangles can also be classified according to their internal angles, measured here in degrees.

A right triangle (or right-angled triangle, formerly called a rectangled triangle) has one of its
interior angles measuring 90 (a right angle). The side opposite to the right angle is
the hypotenuse, the longest side of the triangle. The other two sides are called
the legs or catheti[4] (singular: cathetus) of the triangle. Right triangles obey the Pythagorean
theorem: the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the
length of the hypotenuse: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the
length of the hypotenuse. Special right triangles are right triangles with additional properties that
make calculations involving them easier. One of the two most famous is the 345 right triangle,
where 32 + 42 = 52. In this situation, 3, 4, and 5 are a Pythagorean triple. The other one is an
isosceles triangle that has 2 angles that each measure 45 degrees.

Triangles that do not have an angle measuring 90 are called oblique triangles.

A triangle with all interior angles measuring less than 90 is an acute triangle or acute-angled
triangle. If c is the length of the longest side, then a2 + b2 > c2, where a and b are the lengths of
the other sides.

A triangle with one interior angle measuring more than 90 is an obtuse triangle or obtuse-
angled triangle. If c is the length of the longest side, then a2 + b2 < c2, where a and b are the
lengths of the other sides.

A triangle with an interior angle of 180 (and collinear vertices) is degenerate.

A right degenerate triangle has collinear vertices, two of which are coincident.
