LESSON TWENTY-SECOND.
REVIEW.
Name four acute-angled triangles. (DIAGRAM 17.)
Why is the triangle 8 acute-angled?
What is an acute-angled triangle?
Name three obtuse-angled triangles.
Why is the triangle 9 an obtuse-angled triangle?
What is an obtuse-angled triangle?
Name four right-angled triangles.
Why is the triangle 6 a right-angled triangle?
What is a right-angled triangle?
In the triangle 6, which side is the hypothenuse?
Why?
What is the hypothenuse?
What two sides of the triangle 6 may be regarded as the base?
If _q r_ be considered the base, what do you call the side _q s_?
Read the hypothenuse of each of the triangles 3, 5, 6, and 11.

LESSON TWENTY-THIRD.
TRIANGLES. (_Continued._)
ISOSCELES TRIANGLES.
Of the triangle 1, which two sides are equal to each other?
Then it is called an _isosceles triangle_.
_An isosceles triangle is one that has two equal sides._
Name eight isosceles triangles.
Why is the triangle 2 an isosceles triangle?
What kind of a triangle is it on account of its angles?
Then it is an _acute-angled isosceles triangle_.
Name four acute-angled isosceles triangles.
What kind of a triangle is Fig. 4 on account of the angle _k j l_?
What kind on account of its equal sides?
Then it is called an _obtuse-angled isosceles triangle_.
Name one other obtuse-angled isosceles triangle.
What kind of a triangle is Fig. 6 on account of the angle _q p r_?
What kind on account of its equal sides?
Then it is called a _right-angled isosceles triangle_.
Name one other right-angled isosceles triangle.
Why is Fig. 12 a right-angled triangle? Why isosceles?
EQUILATERAL TRIANGLES.
Which of the isosceles triangles has all its three sides equal to each
other?
It is called an _equilateral triangle_.
“Equi” means “equal.” “Latus” means a “side.”
_An equilateral triangle is one that has its three sides equal to
each other._
What kind of a triangle is Fig. 7 on account of its three equal sides?
What kind on account of its two equal sides _s t_, _s u_, or _t s_, _t
u_, or _u s_, _u t_?
Then must not every equilateral triangle be also isosceles?
What kind of a triangle is Fig. 2 on account of its equal sides _d e_,
_d f_?
If the side _e f_ is longer than either of the other two sides, is it
an equilateral triangle?
Then is every isosceles triangle also equilateral?
Name another isosceles triangle that is _not_ equilateral.
Name one that _is_ equilateral.
In any equilateral triangle the three angles are equal to each other.
On account of its equal angles, it is also called an _equiangular
triangle_.
