right angle
scalene triangle
isosceles triangle
equilateral triangle

I think it is an isosceles triangle but I'm not sure.

directrix · Answer

Why isosceles? Does it have 2 congruent sides? 

Look at the attached green triangle.

directrix · Answer

Wait. Is it triangle ADE or is it triangle ABD that we are classifying?

beccab003 · Answer

I'm here. we are classifying ADE

directrix · Answer

See if you wrote this correctly:  >>>that triangle ADE is a(n)

Check the text.

directrix · Answer

Which two sides of triangle ADE are congruent?

beccab003 · Answer

I wrote it right. I checked it. ADE and ABE are congruent.

directrix · Answer

Yes, those triangles are congruent but that does not mean trianagle ADE is isosceles unless you can show that to be true.

Look at this green triangle ADE again.

directrix · Answer

Triangle ABD is isosceles but that is not the question.
