Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
Classify each triangle as
acute,
obtuse, or
right based on its angles.
---
Definitions:
-
Right triangle: Has
one 90° angle (marked with a small square).
-
Obtuse triangle: Has
one angle greater than 90°.
-
Acute triangle: All three angles are
less than 90°.
We’ll examine each triangle in the image and determine its classification.

Step-by-step Analysis of Each Triangle:
1.
Top-left triangle
- Has a
square symbol at one angle → this is a
90° angle.
-
✔ Right triangle
2.
Top-right triangle
- Has a
square symbol at one angle →
90° angle.
-
✔ Right triangle
3.
Middle-left triangle
- No right angle symbol, no obvious large angle.
- Looks like all angles are less than 90°.
-
✔ Acute triangle
4.
Middle-center triangle
- No right angle symbol.
- One angle appears to be
greater than 90° (widely open).
-
✔ Obtuse triangle
5.
Middle-right triangle
- Has two
hash marks on sides — but that indicates equal sides (isosceles), not angles.
- But there’s
no right angle symbol, and it looks like all angles are less than 90°.
- However, check if any angle is wide: seems
all acute.
-
✔ Acute triangle
6.
Bottom-left triangle
- Has a
square symbol →
90° angle.
-
✔ Right triangle
7.
Bottom-center triangle
- Has
two hash marks on two sides → isosceles.
- But
no right angle, and one angle is clearly
larger than 90° (the top one).
-
✔ Obtuse triangle
8.
Bottom-right triangle
- Has
three hash marks on sides → equilateral?
- But wait:
three hash marks on sides suggest all sides equal → equilateral triangle.
- In an equilateral triangle,
all angles are 60° → all acute.
-
✔ Acute triangle

Obtuse
5.
Middle-right →
Acute
6.
Bottom-left →
Right
7.
Bottom-center →
Obtuse
8.
