Classify triangle (a)

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Side lengths: } 7, 11, 11\\ &\text{Two sides are equal in length } (11 = 11)\\ &\text{Classification: Isosceles} \end{aligned}$$

\]

Classify triangle (b)

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Side lengths: } 8, 8, 8\\ &\text{All three sides are equal in length } (8 = 8 = 8)\\ &\text{Classification: Equilateral} \end{aligned}$$

\]
