Similar Figures and Triangles

Today we learned about mostly triangles and the definition for Similar Figures is
Similar Figures- Figures that have the same shape
     - Corresponding pairs of sides of similar figures that are proportional
The types of Triangles we learned today are
Isosceles- Tri. w/ congruent sides
Scalene- Tri. no congruent sides
Right- Tri. w/ a 90% angle
Obtuse- Tri. w/ 1 angle larger than 90%
Acute- Tri. where all angle's are less than 90%
Equal lateral- Tri. all sides are congruent
Today was a review for me. I already heard about all these triangles, but I might of not of known what the names of the triangles meant.                                                 (Tri means triangle)
