Acute, Obtuse, and Right Triangles - Tutorialspoint

The document defines and compares acute, obtuse, and right triangles. An acute triangle has all angles that are acute. An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle. A right triangle contains one right angle. The type of triangle is determined by whether the third angle is acute, obtuse, or a right angle. Examples are given to identify triangles as acute, obtuse, or right based on their angle measurements.

Acute, obtuse, and right triangles

Introduction

Let us consider the acute, the right and the obtuse angles as follows. If we close the third
sides of these angles, acute, right and the obtuse triangles are formed. These triangles
always have at least two acute triangles. The third angle decides the type of triangle. If the
third angle is acute it is acute triangle; if the third angle is right angle, it is a right triangle; if
the third angle is obtuse angle, the triangle is an obtuse triangle.

A triangle can have at most one right angle and at most one obtuse angle.

Definitions

Triangles are polygons that always have 3 sides and 3 angles.

Triangles can be classified on the basis of their angles as acute, obtuse and right triangles.

An acute triangle has all of its angles as acute.

An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle.

A right triangle has one right angle.

Solution
Step 1:

All angles of the given triangle are acute.

Step 2:

So the given triangle is an acute triangle.

Example 2:

Identify the given triangle as acute, obtuse or right triangle.

Solution
Step 1:

One of the angles of the given triangle is a right angle.

Step 2:

So the given triangle is a right triangle.
