A triangle has one angle that measures 59° and one angle that measures 31°. What kind of triangle is it? obtuse triangle isosceles triangle equiangular triangle right triangle
we need to find the value of the third angle you know that the 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees right?
so we find the third angle by adding up the measure of the other 2 angles and subtracting that from 180
add the two angles together. 59+31=90. there are 180 degrees in one triangle so do 180-90= 90. the third angle is 90 degrees. also known as a right angle. do you think you know what the triangle is called?
Darth are you there?
yes
so what do you think it is called @DARTHVADER2900 ?
I think it is D or C
yes one of those are correct. remember that it has one RIGHT angle. (key word, RIGHT)
D?
yeah. it cant be C because in a equiangular triangle all of the angles are the same. and a right triangle has one right angle. so yes it is right triangle.
