of the sides, so are there also three kindes of triangles, by reason of the varietie of the angles. For euery triangle either containeth one right angle, & two acute angles: or one obtuse angle, & two acute: or three acute angles: for it is impossible that one triangle should contain•• two obtuse angles, or two right angles, or one obtuse an∣gle, and the other a right angle. All which kindes are here defined. First a rightangled triangle whiche hath in it a right angle. As the triangle BCD, of which the angle BCD, is a right angle.
