True. The reasoning behind it is this: the sum of the angles in any triangle will always equal 180o.
Equilateral (all sides & angles equal)
3x = 180
x = 60
Isosceles (two equal sides & angles) - can include Right triangle (90 + 45 + 45)
x + 2y = 180
y = (180-x)/2
No matter what x equals (acute, right, or obtuse), y will be less than 90 (acute) because half of 180 is 90 and half of anything less than 180 will be less than 90.
Scalene (all sides & angles different) - can include Right triangle (90 + x + y)
x + y + z = 180
If one angle is obtuse...
x > 90
180 - x < 90
y + z < 90
If together they are less than 90, then clearly both are less than 90 (acute)

All triangles have at least two acute angles. Acute triangles have three. Rhomboids also have two acute angles.
Yes. In fact, all triangles MUST have at least two acute angles.
yesss, because in an equilateral triangle all the angles are 60 degrees!! Most triangles have acute angles! :) xx
A triangle is the only shape that can have only acute angles inside it.
They are alike in that they are all triangles when you close them. They are different because they are all different degree amounts.
