Answer 1

To determine the type of triangle based on its angles:

- A triangle is classified as:
- **Acute** if all angles are less than 90°.
- **Right** if one angle is exactly 90°.
- **Obtuse** if one angle is greater than 90°.

The given angles are 46°, 51°, and 83°:

- All these angles are less than 90°.

Therefore, since all angles are less than 90°, the triangle is classified as an **acute triangle**.

**Answer: acute triangle**
