Answer 1

To classify the triangle based on its angles:

- A **right triangle** has one angle equal to 90°.
- An **obtuse triangle** has one angle greater than 90°.
- An **acute triangle** has all angles less than 90°.

In this case, the triangle has angles measuring 46°, 51°, and 83°, all of which are less than 90°. Therefore, the triangle is classified as an **acute triangle**.

So the correct response is:

**acute triangle**.
