If a triangle has angles measuring 46°

Question

51°
, and 83°.
, what type of triangle is it?
(1 point)
• small triangle
• acute triangle
• obtuse triangle
• right triangle

Answer 1

To determine the type of triangle based on its angles, we can analyze the given angles:

• The angles of the triangle are 46°, 51°, and 83°.

Here are the classifications based on angle measurements:

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 this case, all angles (46°, 51°, and 83°) are less than 90°. Therefore, this triangle is classified as an acute triangle.

So the answer is: acute triangle.
