Math Problem Statement

Determine the type of triangle that is drawn below.

Solution

The triangle in the image has angles measuring 36°, 49°, and 95°, which add up to 180°, confirming it’s a valid triangle. Since one of the angles (95°) is greater than 90°, this is an obtuse triangle. The presence of this obtuse angle categorizes the triangle as neither right nor acute, but instead obtuse.

  5. How do triangle inequality rules help verify the type of triangle?

Tip: In any triangle, the sum of the angles is always 180°.
