OpenStudy (ivettef365):
the sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wut o.o
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u have 3 angles in the triangle
if all 3 are equal, it wud be equilateral
if none of them are equal, it wud be scalene
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
first find x, then we can classify wat type triangle it is

don't you add the other two angles then subtract from 180 to find the missing angle?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
exactly ! do that
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
and see wat u get for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i got 80
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good :)

wait a sec, the question is about classifying the triangle based on angles
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
since, all angles are less than 90
it wud be an 'acute triangle'
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats it, we're done.

its an acute triangle, and the theorem we've used is : sum of interior angles
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but we have to put what theorem we used
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what does that mean?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
whatever u did :)
"don't you add the other two angles then subtract from 180 to find the missing angle?
"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait i see you said i already

it*
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
sum of interior angles = 180
x+60+40 = 180
x = 180 - (60+40)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good :D
