right triangle--> if one angle measures 90 degrees or pi/2 radians. Moreover, the sides would follow the Pythagorean Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are sides opposite angles less than 90 degrees and c is the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "scalene triangle--> if all the sides are of different length and angles are of different measure. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "equilateral triangle--> if all the sides are of the same length and all angles are of the same measure.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You would determine the length of sides using the distance formula $\"d=sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2%2B%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
