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.)


In the right triangle the ratio of the measures of the two acute angles is 41what is the measure in degreesof the larger acute angle?

What is the greatest number of acute angles right triangle can contain?

Two. Two acute angles in a right triangle.


What possible measures for angle a and angle b with triangle abc is a right triangle with the right angle at c?

'a' and 'b' must both be acute, complementary angles.


What does a right acute triangle look like?

Such a triangle would presumably have one right angle, and two acute angles. A right angle has a measure of 90 degrees; an acute angle has a measure of less than 90 degrees. Since both of the other two angles in a right triangle must be acute angles, you'd think at first that every right triangle must be a right acute triangle. But when you go and look up the definition of an "acute triangle", it turns out to be a triangle in which all three angles are acute. So the fact is that there's no such thing as a right acute triangle, because the 90-degree angle in a right triangle is not acute.

The sum of the degree measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is?

Since every type of triangle has a total of 180 degrees of angles, simply deduct the 90 of a right triangle, leaving you with a balance of ___ for the remaining acute angles.


Which triangle has one right angle and two acute angles?

A triangle with one right angle and two acute angles is called a right triangle. In a right triangle, one of the angles measures 90 degrees, making it a right angle, while the other two angles are acute, meaning they measure less than 90 degrees each. The Pythagorean theorem can be applied to solve for the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

20, 70 and 90 degrees.


Is a right triangle acute true or false?

False ------------------------------------ An acute triangle is one in which all angles are acute angles. An acute angle is less than 90°. A right angle is 90°, which is equal to 90° not less than 90° Therefore all the angles of a right triangle are not all acute Thus a right triangle is not an acute triangle.
