Answer 1

To classify a triangle based on its angles, we can use the following definitions:

- **Acute triangle**: All angles are less than 90°.
- **Right triangle**: One angle is exactly 90°.
- **Obtuse triangle**: One angle is greater than 90°.

In this case, the angles of the triangle are 46°, 51°, and 83°.

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

Therefore, the correct response is **acute triangle**.
