[b][size=150][color=#274e13]Using a camera, go out into the world and find real-life examples of the different types of triangles. Along with each triangle, explain the properties of that triangle and how you determined that it was that specific triangle. [br]You must find all of the following triangles:[br][/color][/size][/b][br][color=#0000ff]acute triangle obtuse triangle right triangle[br]scalene triangle isosceles triangle equilateral triangle[/color]
