Without a specific diagram or more detailed information, it's impossible to accurately classify triangle CFE by its sides and angles. The information provided only lets us know that "G" is the midpoint of segment AB, which means only that AG = GB.

However, this information doesn't give us specific facts about triangle CFE. To classify this triangle by its sides and angles, we'd need to know lengths of sides CF and CE, as well as the measure of all angles in triangle CFE.

Here's what we would need to classify triangle CFE:

1) By sides - We would need to measure the lengths of sides CF, FE, and EC. Then we could compare them and check if triangle CFE is:
• Equilateral - if all sides are of equal lengths,
• Isosceles - if any two sides are of equal lengths,
• Scalene - if no sides are equal.

2) By angles - We would need to measure all angles in triangle CFE and check whether it is:
• Acute Triangle - if all angles are acute (i.e., less than 90°),
• Right Triangle - if there is one right angle (i.e., 90°),
• Obtuse Triangle - if there is one obtuse angle (i.e., greater than 90°).

Unless we have more information about the sides and angles of triangle CFE, we can't make specific classifications. Therefore, without additional details or a diagram, the classification of triangle CFE remains inconclusive.
