Best Answer

A right triangle will always have exactly one right angle and two acute angles. It will never have an obtuse angle.

The easiest proof of that is the fact that sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180o, and if it's a right triangle, then one of it's angles is 90o, leaving only 90o for the angles of both of the other two. Since they both have to be greater than zero for it to qualify as a triangle, they will always both be less than ninety, and thus always acute.

If a triangle has no obtuse angle then it is a right triangle?

It could be a right triangle if it has a right angle (90 degrees). If it does not have a right angle, then it is an acute triangle.


What kind of the triangle according to sides of the angle?

If one angle is a right angle, it is a right triangle. If one angle is an obtuse angle, it is an obtuse triangle. If there are no right nor obtuse angle then it is an acute triangle.


What angles does a obtuse triangle need so it could be a obtuse triangle?

It needs at least 1 obtuse angle. Usually you can only have one obtuse angle, so the rest would be acute.
