Math Problem Statement

Um pedreiro está instalando cerâmicas no piso de uma residência. O pedreiro fez o recorte de uma das peças de cerâmica em forma triangular, de modo que a soma de dois dos seus ângulos é igual a 80°. O triângulo que compõe essa cerâmica é

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 8080^\circ. 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 180180^\circ. Given that the sum of two angles is 8080^\circ, we can find the measure of the third angle as follows:

18080=100180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ

This implies that the triangle has one angle measuring 100100^\circ and two other angles that sum to 8080^\circ. Therefore, this triangle must have an angle greater than 9090^\circ, making it an obtuse triangle.

Answer:

The triangle that composes this ceramic tile is an obtuse triangle.
