[Audio] The 2-D shapes presented here include triangles, squares, circles, and hexagons. These shapes exist only on a flat surface and do not possess any height. They can be drawn on a piece of paper and are commonly referred to as 2-D flat shapes. The main characteristics of these shapes are their ability to be represented by length and width measurements. For example, a triangle can be defined by its base and height, while a square can be defined by its side lengths. A circle is typically defined by its radius, and a hexagon can be defined by its six sides. The distinction between 2-D and 3-D shapes lies in their physical properties. While 2-D shapes exist solely on a flat surface, 3-D shapes have depth and can be physically manipulated. This fundamental difference highlights the importance of understanding the characteristics of each type of shape..

[Audio] The triangle has three sides and three angles. A key fact about triangles is that the sum of their angles always equals 180 degrees. This means that no matter what shape our triangle is, we will always have three angles adding up to 180 degrees. Triangles are classified into different types based on their angles. There are two main categories: acute, right, and obtuse triangles. An acute triangle has all its angles less than 90 degrees. A right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees. An obtuse triangle has one angle greater than 90 degrees. In addition to these categories, there are also other subcategories such as equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. An equilateral triangle has all its sides equal in length. An isosceles triangle has two sides equal in length. A scalene triangle has all its sides unequal in length. Each type of triangle has unique properties and characteristics. For example, an equilateral triangle can be divided into two congruent right triangles by drawing a line through one vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. Similarly, an isosceles triangle can be divided into two congruent triangles with equal bases and heights by drawing a line through the vertex of the isosceles angle and the midpoint of the base..

[Audio] ## Step 1: Define what a scalene triangle is. A scalene triangle is a triangle with three sides of different lengths. ## Step 2: Explain why a scalene triangle has different side lengths. All three sides are different lengths because each side has a unique length. ## Step 3: Describe the relationship between side lengths and angles in a scalene triangle. All three angles are also different sizes because the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, and when the sides are unequal, the angles must also be unequal. ## Step 4: Explain the absence of lines of symmetry in a scalene triangle. There are no lines of symmetry because if there were, the triangle would have at least two pairs of congruent sides, making it either equilateral or isosceles. ## Step 5: Summarize the key characteristics of a scalene triangle. The key characteristics of a scalene triangle are that all sides are different lengths, all angles are different sizes, there are no lines of symmetry, and no equal parts anywhere. ## Step 6: Provide an example of a scalene triangle. An example of a scalene triangle is a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 7 cm. ## Step 7: Review the definition of a scalene triangle. To remember what makes a scalene triangle, think of the word'scale', which means unbalanced or unequal. ## Step 8: Identify the importance of recognizing scalene triangles. It is essential to recognize scalene triangles as they do not share the same properties as other types of triangles, such as equilateral or isosceles triangles. ## Step 9: Emphasize the need for accurate identification. Accurately identifying scalene triangles is crucial in geometry and trigonometry, as it affects various mathematical concepts and applications. ## Step 10: Conclude by reiterating the definition of a scalene triangle. A scalene triangle is a triangle with three sides of different lengths, characterized by unequal side lengths, angles, and lack of lines of symmetry..

[Audio] The isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. The line of symmetry runs through the vertex opposite the base. The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. The apex is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle. The apex is also the point where the altitude intersects the base. The altitude is drawn from the apex to the base. The altitude divides the triangle into two congruent triangles. The two congruent triangles are similar to each other. The similarity between the two triangles is due to the fact that they share the same angle at the apex. The shared angle is the vertex angle. The vertex angle is the angle formed by the intersection of the altitude with the base. The vertex angle is always acute. The vertex angle is also known as the right angle. The right angle is not actually a right angle but rather an obtuse angle. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. The obtuse angle is formed by the intersection of the altitude with the base. The obtuse angle is also known as the vertex angle.

[Audio] The regular triangle has three sides of equal length. Its three angles are also all equal, each measuring 60 degrees. This means that if we add up the measures of any two angles, they will always total 120 degrees. Since all three angles are equal, their sum is 180 degrees. A regular triangle also has three lines of symmetry. This makes it easy to remember the word 'equalateral', which literally means 'all equal sides'..

[Audio] The different types of triangles can be found in everyday life. A pizza slice is often right-angled, meaning its two shorter sides meet at a right angle. The roof of a house is also typically right-angled. Another example is the guitar pick, which is usually scalene, meaning it has three different side lengths. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids with triangular faces, and these too are often isosceles, with two sides being equal. We can find many more examples of each type of triangle in our daily lives..

[Audio] The triangle has three sides and three angles. The sum of its angles is always 180 degrees. This is a fundamental property of triangles. All triangles are either scalene, isosceles, equilateral, or right-angled. A scalene triangle has no equal sides. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal. A right-angled triangle has one angle that is 90 degrees. Equilateral triangles are also known as regular triangles because all their sides are equal. The number of sides of a triangle cannot be changed. The number of angles of a triangle cannot be changed. The number of vertices of a triangle cannot be changed. These are fixed properties of triangles..
