Triangles can be categorized into three types based on sides:

Scalene Triangles: Have no lines of symmetry as all sides are unequal.

Isosceles Triangles: Have 1 line of symmetry as only two of the sides are equal.

Equilateral Triangles: Have 3 lines of symmetry as all sides are equal.

The same is shown in the figure below:
