Answer:

8) Acute Scalene

9) Right Isosceles

Explanation:

Triangles can be classified in 3 ways based on their angles: acute, obtuse, and right. There are 3 ways to classify based on sides: scalene, isosceles, and equilateral.

Definitions

Acute - a triangle with 3 acute angles (angles under 90 degrees)

Obtuse - a triangle with 1 obtuse angle (angle greater than 90 degrees)

Right - a triangle with 1 right angle (90-degree angle)

Scalene - a triangle with sides of all different lengths

Isosceles - a triangle with 2 equal sides and angles

Equilateral - a triangle with 3 equal sides

Question 8

From the 2 angles we are given, we can tell that all of the angles are different. This must mean that the sides are also different. Since the sides are different, this must be a scalene triangle. Additionally, the missing angle is 100 degrees; thus, it must be an obtuse triangle.

Question 9

The marks on the 2 sides mean that these lines are equal. Therefore, it must be an isosceles triangle. One of the angles is marked with a box. This means that the angle is 90 degrees. So, it is a right triangle.
