Well -- that was a waste of both of our times. All three are wrong.
Ms. Sue you said you'd check their answers, not make them feel bad about themselves.
1. C, as any angle greater than 90 degrees is obtuse (unless it's a straight angle measuring 180 degrees)
2. B, as a complement of an angle means it, added to the given angle, would be 90 degrees (A supplement would be the same just for 180 degrees)
3. C, as we know that all angles in a triangle added together is 180 degrees, and 180-36-71 is 73. And since all three angles are acute in this triangle, the triangle is acute.
