Question

Ramona completed the steps shown to construct a right triangle. P and R represent two vertices of the triangle



Which triangle is acute?

Triangle HPR because H lies beyond the arc and to the left of the perpendicular line.

Triangle FPR because F lies to the left of the perpendicular line.

Triangle EPR because E lies to the right of the perpendicular line.

Triangle GPR because G lies beyond the arc on the perpendicular line.

Answer 1

EPR. Acute triangles have the central angle less than 90 degrees (which is the perpendicular line in the picture). GPR is a right triangle and the other two are obtuse.
