+# Triangle
+
+Welcome to Triangle on Exercism's JavaScript Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Determine if a triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.
+
+An _equilateral_ triangle has all three sides the same length.
+
+An _isosceles_ triangle has at least two sides the same length. (It is sometimes
+specified as having exactly two sides the same length, but for the purposes of
+this exercise we'll say at least two.)
+
+A _scalene_ triangle has all sides of different lengths.
+
+## Note
+
+For a shape to be a triangle at all, all sides have to be of length > 0, and
+the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the
+length of the third side. See [Triangle Inequality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality).
+
+## Dig Deeper
+
+The case where the sum of the lengths of two sides _equals_ that of the
+third is known as a _degenerate_ triangle - it has zero area and looks like
+a single line. Feel free to add your own code/tests to check for degenerate triangles.
