What kind of triangle is this? https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1562000_1562500/1562261/1/05c078e289cd8cd47f48f9a9a414676fd3480818/MS_IMB-1401012-1100202.jpg I think a right triangle?
not if it doesn't have a right (\(90^\circ\)) angle it isn't
An acute?
all the angles are equal so we call it an equilateral triangle
@dan815 that is when we have equal sides
We are talking about ANGLES here

if all angles are than 90 its acute one larger than 90 its obtuse

if there is one angle 90 its a right triangle
You can use this to help :) |dw:1456541609281:dw|
This is an equalaterial triangle
No it's not.
The very first triangle is an equiangular triangle.
Yes agree @Directrix
It could be tricky if there are options.
Agreed. It is not an equilateral because that is referring to the sides. I personally think acute. All angles are less than 90 degrees
@pooja195 is right but I'm sorry for not listing the choices, the three choices were obtuse, acute and right.
Right so you were correct about acute
Which is indeed correct.
https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trigonometry/Angles_of_a_triangle_sum_to_180_Degrees But if it asked it would be too
If the triangle is equiangular, then it has to be acute. And, equiangular is a stronger statement. Again, I don't know if the OP's question has options. If he is choosing from among acute, right, and obtuse, then clearly it would be acute for the very first triangle.
That's the only way you would get 3 60 degree angles
A triangle is 180 degrees.
@ProMiner10000 Look in your text and tell us the instructions for these problems. Thanks.
@Directrix they already said that they forgot to add answer choices.
Yes I get that 3 60 angles =180 degrees it's just there's no way you can have all the same angles without having same side lengths
