this isn't a question with a clean-cut answer, because there are lots of different--and overlapping--criteria that can be used to classify triangles.
for example, one criterion is whether a triangle is "isosceles" (= at least 2 sides have the same length). another criterion is whether the triangle is a right triangle (= has a 90º angle in it).
if you think about these two criteria, you'll see the problem with the way your original question is phrased: there are triangles that are isosceles AND are right triangles (namely, the 45º-45º-90º triangles).
so you can't neatly distribute triangles according to both of these criteria, because some triangles belong in neither bucket, some in just one of the two, and some in both buckets.
