It is a scalene right triangle- scalene= all sides are different lengths; right because it has a right (90 degree) angle.

Isosceles has two equal sides and equilateral has three equal sides.

And the four sided shape in the center is a parallelogram- opposite sides are parallel to each other like a rectangle, but it has no right angles.
