## Triangle
This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/mathematics/triangle/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>.
A triangle is a polygon which has three sides and vertices, whose internal angles add up to 180 degrees.
<a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/blob/master/README.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>This quick style guide will help ensure your pull request gets accepted</a>.
Any side of a triangle can be considered a base (B).
<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds -->
The distance from the base to the vertice that does not touch it is the height (H).
### Classifications
- A right triangle is a triangle that contains one angle equal to 90 degrees.
- An acute triangle is a triangle that consists entirely of angles less than 90 degrees.
- An obtuse triangle is a triangle that contains one angle more than 90 degrees.
- An equilateral triangle's 3 sides and angles are always equal in length and degree (and therefore the angles are equal to 60 degrees).
- An isosceles triangle has 2 sides and angles that are equal in length and degree.
- A scalene triangle has no sides or angles that are equal in length or degree.
