To classify each triangle by its angles, we need to remember:
-
Acute triangle: All three angles are less than 90°.
-
Right triangle: One angle is exactly 90°.
-
Obtuse triangle: One angle is greater than 90°.
We’ll go row by row, left to right.

Row 1:
1. First triangle (top-left): Looks like all angles are sharp — no wide or square corner →
Acute
2. Second triangle (top-middle): Also looks like all angles are small and sharp →
Acute
3. Third triangle (top-right): Has a clear square corner (like the corner of a book) →
Right

Row 2:
4. Fourth triangle (middle-left): One angle is very wide — bigger than a right angle →
Obtuse
5. Fifth triangle (middle-center): All angles look sharp again →
Acute
6. Sixth triangle (middle-right): One angle is clearly wide and open →
Obtuse

Row 3:
7. Seventh triangle (bottom-left): Has a square corner →
Right
8. Eighth triangle (bottom-middle): Also has a square corner →
Right
9. Ninth triangle (bottom-right): All angles are narrow and sharp →
Acute

Let’s double-check:
- Acute: #1, #2, #5, #9 → 4 triangles
- Right: #3, #7, #8 → 3 triangles
- Obtuse: #4, #6 → 2 triangles
Total = 9 → matches the number of triangles. Good!
Final Answer:
Acute, Acute, Right, Obtuse, Acute, Obtuse, Right, Right, Acute
