Answer 1

A triangle is classified based on its angles.

• Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90 degrees.
• Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees.
• Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.

In this triangle, the angles are 46°, 51°, and 83°. All of these angles are less than 90 degrees, so the triangle is an acute triangle.

Thus, the correct response is acute triangle.
