Question

The extended ratio 2:6:8 represents the measures of the angles of a triangle. Classify the triangle as acute, right or obtuse. Explain how you came up with the answer if you could :)

Answer 1

If you add up all the ratios you get it out of 16.

180/16=11.25

now just multiply that scale by each ratio such as

11.25 x 2=22.5 degrees (one of the angles)
11.25 x6=67.5 degrees (another angle)

figure out the last one

Answer 2

11.25 x 8 = 90 degrees. :)
