anonymous · Answer

ANSWERS:
		An obtuse triangle, because one vertex is to the left on the arc.
		An acute triangle, because all vertices are to the right on the arc.
		An equilateral triangle, because the lengths of all three sides of the triangles as the same as the radius of the arc.
		An isosceles triangle, because the lengths of at least two sides of the triangle are the same as the radius of the arc.
