A triangle has angle measurements of 66 degrees, 14 degrees and 100 degrees. What kind of triangle is it?

Answer 1

To classify a triangle based on its angle measurements, we can use the following criteria:

1. If all angles are less than 90 degrees, it is an acute triangle.
2. If exactly one angle measures 90 degrees, it is a right triangle.
3. If one angle is greater than 90 degrees, it is an obtuse triangle.

In your case, the angles of the triangle are 66 degrees, 14 degrees, and 100 degrees. Since one angle (100 degrees) is greater than 90 degrees, this triangle is classified as an obtuse triangle.
