Question

True or false: equilateral triangles can be classified as acute right or obtuse

Answer 1

it is only acute

Explanation:

False: equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles measure 60 degrees

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal in length.

That means that all the angles of the triangle will be congruent.

Since a triangle has 3 angles that always add up to 180 degrees, each angle is 60 degrees.

(180/3=60)

A right triangle must have one 90 degree angle.

An obtuse triangle must have an angle that is greater than 90 degrees.

An acute triangle's angles must all measure 89 degrees or less.

Hence, the given statement is true.

Equilateral triangles can be classified as acute.
