Answer:

Triangle WRD's angles are all 60 degrees, angle W and angle R and angle D.

Triangle WRD is an equiangular, equilateral triangle. It is also an acute triangle, as all angles are less than 90 degrees.

Explanation:

You are told that WRD has all equal sides, each 3 inches long.

In a triangle, if sides are equal, then the opposite angles are also equal. So if ALL the sides are equal, then ALL the angles are equal.

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Since the trhee angles are all equal and they must add up to 180 degrees, 180/3 =60, so the angles must all be 60 degrees.

Triangle are classified by sides as

*** scalene = no equal sides

*** isosceles = two equal sides

*** equilateral = all equal sides

Triangles are classified by angles as

*** right triangle = one 90 degree angle

*** obtuse triangle = one angle larger than 90 degrees

*** acute triangle = all angles less than 90 degrees

*** equiangular = all angles equal

There can be overlap in the categories, like an acute triangle also being equiangular.
