Answer 1

To classify the triangle based on its angle measures:

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

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

Therefore, the correct response is acute triangle.
