Mathematics Knowledge

Yesterday I presented a question on triangles.

What is the name of a triangle that has 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles?  A triangle with 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles is known as an isosceles triangle.

The topic of triangles is a subtopic on the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.

I remind my students of the importance of knowing the names and characteristics of the different types of triangles based on their sides and based on their angles.  Equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles received their names based on their sides.  Acute, right, and obtuse triangles received their named based on their angles.  Make sure you know these type of triangles to be prepared for questions than can appear on the Mathematics Knowledge section of the ASVAB.
