Question
This isnt a specific question, its more of a "how do you find with only this" question. How do you find if a triangle is acute, right, or obtuse with only one angle measurement and one side length. I know that if you had 2 or 3 angle measurements you can find from that, but what do you do when you only have one side and one angle? What if this side is the hypotenuse?

if the angle is right or obtuse, then you're done.
One acute angle and a side does not determine the triangle.
To see this, just draw side AB, and draw an acute angle at A. Point C could be anywhere on the extended ray from A.

What if the given angle was acute?
