Let's solve the
"Classify Triangles Worksheet" by analyzing 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 will go through each triangle one by one and determine its classification.
---
1.
- Triangle: Looks like all angles are less than 90°.
- No right angle or wide angle visible.
-
✔ Answer: a. Acute
---
2.
- Triangle: Appears to have one angle that is exactly 90° (right angle) — it looks like a corner of a square.
-
✔ Answer: b. Right
---
3.
- Triangle: One angle appears to be greater than 90° (wide open angle).
- This is an obtuse triangle.
-
✔ Answer: c. Obtuse
---
4.
- Triangle: All angles appear to be less than 90°, no right or wide angle.
- Looks balanced and sharp.
-
✔ Answer: a. Acute
---
5.
- Triangle: All angles seem small, less than 90°.
- No right or obtuse angle visible.
-
✔ Answer: a. Acute
---
6.
- Triangle: One angle is clearly greater than 90° — very wide.
- This is an obtuse triangle.
-
✔ Answer: c. Obtuse
---
7.
- Triangle: One angle appears to be greater than 90° (open wide).
- Clearly an obtuse triangle.
-
✔ Answer: c. Obtuse
---
8.
- Triangle: Has one angle that is exactly 90° — forms a perfect corner.
- This is a right triangle.
-
✔ Answer: b. Right
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
a. Acute
2.
b. Right
3.
c. Obtuse
4.
a. Acute
5.
a. Acute
6.
c. Obtuse
7.
c. Obtuse
8.
b. Right
---
🔍 Summary of Classification Rules:
-
Acute: All angles < 90°
-
Right: One angle = 90°
-
Obtuse: One angle > 90°
You can visually estimate these by looking at the angles:
- If one angle "opens wide" → obtuse.
- If one angle looks like a square corner → right.
- If all angles look sharp and narrow → acute.
