Are all acute triangles equal?

OpenStudy (precal):

acute just means angle less than 90

OpenStudy (precal):

acute triangle means one angle is less than 90 so no they are not all equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow. Actually I meant to say similar not equal. @precal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually an acute triangle would have angles all measuring less than 90 degrees, not just one.

OpenStudy (precal):

similar is a different concept in mathematics

OpenStudy (precal):

well it matters in math, you must be specific if you want us to help you

I know it was an accident

OpenStudy (precal):

yes I stand corrected, all 3 angles have to be less than 90 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, because obtuse triangles can have one acute angle too :)
