The sum of all three angles is 180 degrees.

If there are not two acute angle then there are two (or more) angles that are 90 degrees or more. So those two angles sum to 180 degrees of more and so the third angle must have a negative measure - and that is not possible.

Do all triangles have two acute angles?

INCORRECT: No because there is a obtuse triangle and a right triangleCORRECT ANSWERYes all triangles have at least two acute angles. Obtuse triangles and right triangles also have at least two acute angles. They are called obtuse triangles and right triangles because by definition they are triangles with ONE obtuse angle and ONE right angle. So therefore they both have 2 acute angles. Also for an acute triangle, it would have 3 acute angles.


Can scalene triangles be acute or obtuse?

A scalene triangle can have 1 obtuse angle and 2 different acute angles or it can have 3 different acute angles providing that the 3 angles in both scalene triangles add up to 180 degrees.


What are triangles according to angle?

All triangles have 3 interior angles that add up to 180 degrees and they are:- Right angle triangle: 90 degree angle and 2 acute angles Obtuse triangle: An obtuse angle and 2 acute angles Scalene triangle: 3 acute angles of different sizes Isosceles triangle: 2 equal angles and another angle Equilateral triangle: 3 equal angles that each measures 60 degrees


Can right triangle and acute triangles be similar?

No because a right ange triangle has a 90 degree angle and 2 acute angles whereas an acute triangle has 3 acute angles all of which are less than 90 degrees


What is the difference between an acute triangle and a scalene triangle?

scalene triangles can be the same as acute triangles beacause scalene triangles are triangles with 3 different angles and sides. An acote triangle needs to have 3 angles less than 90 degrees.
