Two angles of a triangle measure 37º and 54° respectively. Is this triangle acute, right or

obtuse?

Hello! I believe the answer you are looking for is acute.


the sum of interior angles for a triangle is 180°

so 54°+37°+x°=180

x=89°

since x does not equal 90° or above it is acute. (90° would make it a right triangle and larger than that would make it obtuse)
