Let's solve the
Classifying Triangles Worksheet by identifying each triangle based on its angles. We classify triangles as:
-
Acute: All three angles are less than 90°.
-
Right: One angle is exactly 90° (a right angle).
-
Obtuse: One angle is greater than 90°.
We'll go through each triangle one by one.

1)
- Angles: 35°, 55°, and a
right angle (90°) shown with a square corner.
- Since one angle is
90°, this is a
Right triangle.
✔ Answer: Right
---
2)
- Angles: 109°, 54°, 34°
- One angle is
109°, which is
greater than 90° → Obtuse
- So, this is an
Obtuse triangle.
✔ Answer: Obtuse
---
3)
- Angles: 79°, 52°, 53°
- All angles are
less than 90° → Acute
- So, this is an
Acute triangle.
✔ Answer: Acute
---
4)
- Angles: 60°, 97°, 84°
- One angle is
97°, which is
greater than 90° → Obtuse
- So, this is an
Obtuse triangle.
✔ Answer: Obtuse
---
5)
- Angles: 10°, 57°, 52°
- All angles are
less than 90° → Acute
- So, this is an
Acute triangle.
✔ Answer: Acute
---
6)
- Angles: 26°, 64°, and a
right angle (90°) shown with a square corner.
- One angle is
90°, so this is a
Right triangle.
✔ Answer: Right
---
7)
- Angles: 50°, 40°, and a
right angle (90°) shown with a square corner.
- One angle is
90°, so this is a
Right triangle.
✔ Answer: Right
---
8)
- Angles: 38°, 50°, 67°
- All angles are
less than 90° → Acute
- So, this is an
Acute triangle.
✔ Answer: Acute
---
9)
- Angles: 15°, 138°, 30°
- One angle is
138°, which is
greater than 90° → Obtuse
- So, this is an
Obtuse triangle.
✔ Answer: Obtuse
