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

Question

Oacute triangle

Oright triangle

Oobtuse triangle

Osmall triangle

Answer 1

To classify the triangle based on its angle measures:

1. Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90°.
2. Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90°.
3. Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90°.

In the given triangle, the angles are 46°, 51°, and 83°. All of these angles are less than 90°.

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

So, the correct answer is acute triangle.
