Triangular Music

So, what are the math questions and observations you can say about this video with a triangle?
Do you see the different angles he uses?  Which kind does he use the most?


TRIANGLES

How do you remember your triangle names?  Today we looked at how to build scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles with people.  We found that we could use 3 students all the same size to build an equilateral triangle.
We also found that 2 short people (slightly height challenged, sorry guys) and one tall student will make an isosceles triangle.  You can also build an isosceles triangle with 2 tall students and one shorter person.
