Answer:

right triangle

Explanation:

Hey there!

A triangle has to have three vertices that add up to 180 degrees

The angle measurments 50 and 40 are already given and added up, they equal 90 degrees

Now out of 180 degrees, 90 degrees is already shown

What you need to do now is try to find how much more degrees you need to get 180 degrees

As you know 180-90=90

So this means that the missing angle is 90 degrees

Now that we know this, we can find out what type of triangle this is

Since the triangle has an angle that is equal to 90 degrees, or it has a right angle, the triangle can be called a right triangle

A right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that is equal to 90 degrees

So this triangle is a right triangle
