Answer & Explaination-

The triangle is a right angled triangle, because one angle of the triangle is a right angle, that is, it is exactly 90°.

Here, the measure of the two angles are given, so we can find the third angle using the angle sum property of a triangle

that is, 57° + 33° + x = 180°

= 90° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 90° = 90°

Since, the third angle is 90°, the triangle is a right angled triangle.
