How do you classify a triangle by its angles?
If all three angles of a triangle measure less that 90 degrees (if all three angles are acute), the triangle is an acute triangle. A triangle that has a right angle (an angle the measures exactly 90 degrees) is a right triangle. (The other 2 angles will be acute angles.) A triangle that has an angle that is greater than 90 degrees (an obtuse angle), is an obtuse triangle. (The other 2 angles will be acute angles.)
Can a right triangle have two angles that measure 90 degrees?
Yes a 90- 60-30 triangle for example because there are 180 degrees in a triangle.
What is the measure of the third angle of a right triangle if one of the angles measures 50 degrees?
The other acute angle in that triangle is 40 degrees.
If two of a triangle's angles measure 42 degrees and 48 degrees how would you classify that triangle?
It's important to remember that a triangle's angles will always total 180 degrees. 180 - 42 - 48 = 90. The last angle is 90 degrees, so this is a right triangle.
What are the angles of a right isosceles triangle?
The two other angles are 45 degrees each. The three angles of every triangle always add up to 180 degrees. -- A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle in it. -- A right angle is 90 degrees. -- That leaves 90 degrees for the other two angles in the right triangle. -- If it happens to be isosceles, then the other two angles are equal. -- Those must both be 45 degrees.
