Question

If a triangle has angles measuring 46° , 51° , and 83° , what type of triangle is it?

Answer 1

To determine the type of triangle, we can examine the angles:

1. If a triangle has one angle greater than 90 degrees, it is an obtuse triangle.
2. If a triangle has all angles less than 90 degrees, it is an acute triangle.
3. If a triangle has one right angle (90 degrees), it is a right triangle.

Given that the angles of the triangle measure 46°, 51°, and 83°, the sum of these angles is 46 + 51 + 83 = 180 degrees, which means we have a valid triangle.

Since all the angles are less than 90 degrees, the triangle is an acute triangle.
