Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.
We are given a worksheet about
acute and
obtuse angles.
First, let’s remember the definitions from the top of the page:
- A
right angle is like the corner of a square — it measures exactly 90°.
- An
obtuse angle is
greater than a right angle (so more than 90°).
- An
acute angle is
less than a right angle (so less than 90°).
Now, we look at each labeled angle in the diagram and decide whether it’s acute or obtuse.
Let’s go one by one:
---
Angle a: Looks very narrow — definitely less than 90° →
Acute
Angle b: This one opens wide — looks bigger than 90° →
Obtuse
Angle c: Very pointy, small opening →
Acute
Angle d: Wide open, clearly more than 90° →
Obtuse
Angle e: Small, sharp angle →
Acute
Angle f: Also small and sharp →
Acute
Angle g: Narrow, not wide →
Acute
Angle h: Slightly wider but still under 90°? Let’s check — actually, looking closely, it seems to be just under 90° →
Acute
Wait — let me double-check angle h. If you imagine a right angle (like an L shape), angle h is smaller than that → yes,
Acute
Angle i: This one is wide — definitely over 90° →
Obtuse
---
So now, let’s list them:
✔ Acute angles: a, c, e, f, g, h
✔ Obtuse angles: b, d, i
Wait — did I miss any? Let’s count the labels: a through i → that’s 9 angles total.
We have:
- Acute: a, c, e, f, g, h → 6 angles
- Obtuse: b, d, i → 3 angles
That adds up to 9. Good.
But let’s recheck angle h again — sometimes these can trick you. Angle h is drawn as a slanted line with a small arc — it’s definitely less than 90°. Yes.
Also, angle f — same thing, very small.
Angle g — also small.
Angle e — tiny.
Angle c — very pointy.
Angle a — narrow.
All good.
Obtuse ones: b, d, i — all visibly wider than a right angle.
Perfect.

Final Answer:
Which of the angles are acute?
a, c, e, f, g, h
Which of the angles are obtuse?
b, d, i
