Question

A triangle has one angle that measures 70 degrees, one angle that measures 42 degrees, and one angle that measures 68 degrees. What kind of triangle is it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Scalene Acute Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle above is an "acute triangle" because the measurement of each angle is less than 90°. However, there are three types of acute triangle and these are: Equilateral Acute Triangle, Isosceles Acute Triangle and Scalene Acute Triangle.

When all the angles have the same measurement of less than 90°, then it is an Equilateral Acute Triangle. If only two angles have the same measurement, it is an Isosceles Acute Triangle. If none of the angles are the same but all are less than 90°, which also means that the sides are also unequal, then it is an Scalene Acute Triangle.

The triangle above has different angle measurements of less than 90°. Therefore, it is an Scalene Acute Triangle.
