Any side of a triangle can be considered a base (B).

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.
