Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem states that a worker is cutting a ceramic tile in the shape of a triangle, where the sum of two of the triangle’s angles equals . We are asked to identify the type of triangle formed.
To solve this, we can recall that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always . Given that the sum of two angles is , we can find the measure of the third angle as follows:
This implies that the triangle has one angle measuring and two other angles that sum to . Therefore, this triangle must have an angle greater than , making it an obtuse triangle.
Answer:
The triangle that composes this ceramic tile is an obtuse triangle.
