Could someone tell me what type of triangle is pictured, and why?
|dw:1474390799120:dw|
As the angle A is right angle (90 degree), we call the triangle CAD is a right angle.
So, the simple answer is Right Triangle, the other information is not needed?
From the figure we can notice that the three lengths BC, BA, and BD are equal. So we can deduce that : triangles ABD and ABC are "equilateral triangle". At this point, are you with me? tell me if there is anything nit clear!

Thanks for the medal!
There is a few different types of triangles. Scalene, Acute, Obtuse, Equilateral, Isosceles, and Right triangle. A triangle is a \(\color{red}{\tt scalene}\) triangle when all sides and angles do not equal each other. This means that every side and angle are different measurements. A triangle is an \(\color{red}{\tt acute}\) triangle when all of the angles are less than 90\(^o\) An \(\color{red}{\tt obtuse}\) triangle is when on of the angles of the triangle are greater than 90\(^o\) A triangle will be \(\color{red}{\tt equilateral}\) when ALL angles and sides are the same measurements. This means that every angle will end up being 60\(^o\) An \(\color{red}{\tt isosceles}\) triangle is when two sides and angles of the triangle are equal Lastly, a \(\color{red}{\tt right}\) triangle is when a triangle has one angle equal to 90\(^o\)
Are you able to upload the actual picture of the triangle?
I believe the answer sought needs to be expressed as "equilateral", "isosceles" "scalene", etc. I would imagine it could be "right" and "equilateral" or am I incorrect?
