If a triangle has angles
measuring , , and
, what type of triangle is
it? (1 point)
46° 51°
83°
obtuse triangle
right triangle
acute triangle
small triangle

Answer 1

To determine the type of triangle based on the angles provided:

1. The angles given are 46°, 51°, and 83°.

2. **Classification of triangles by angles**:
- An **acute triangle** has all angles less than 90°.
- A **right triangle** has one angle exactly equal to 90°.
- An **obtuse triangle** has one angle greater than 90°.

Since all three angles (46°, 51°, and 83°) are less than 90°, the triangle is classified as an **acute triangle**.
