Answer:
C. Obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
The "form factor" I use for this is ...
a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 - 11^2 = 36 +64 -121 = -21
The value is negative, indicating an OBTUSE triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
In this expression, 'a' and 'b' are the two shortest sides (in no particular order) and 'c' is the longest side. The interpretation is ...
negative — obtuse
zero — right
positive — acute

If you're familiar with Pythagorean triples, you know that the 3-4-5 right triangle triple can be doubled to give 6-8-10. The long side of 11 is longer than the hypotenuse for the right triangle, so would correspond to a largest angle greater than 90°. The 6-8-11 triangle would be OBTUSE.
Answer: x = 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a) Linear Pair: 110° + ∠a = 180° --> ∠a = 70°
b) congruent sides implies congruent angles --> ∠b = 70°
c) Triangle Sum Theorem: ∠a + ∠b + ∠c = 180
70° + 70° + ∠c = 180°
∠c = 40°
d) Complimentary Angles: ∠c + ∠d = 90°
40° + ∠d = 90°
∠d = 50°
∠2) Linear Pair: ∠d + ∠2 = 180°
50° + ∠2 = 180°
∠2 = 130°
x) m∠2 = 130°
10x + 10 = 130°
10x = 120
x = 12
