A triangle has sides that measure 12 inches, 15 inches, and 8 inches. Will this triangle be acute, right, or obtuse
It would be acute
How do I figure out if it's an acute I gotta show my work.
An acute angle is greater than 0 degrees but is less then 90° degrees. Acute angles are the smallest, being between (but not including) zero and 90° Also acute triangles are those where all the interior angles are acute. For example, think of a clock. A clock is a circle and a circle has 360 degrees. When the time on a clock shows 3 o'clock, the minute hand is on the 12 and the hour hand is on the 3. These hands are like the rays of an angle. If you look at the space between the minute and hour hands, it looks like a corner. This is a 90 degree angle, as it covers exactly 1/4 of the circle, or 90 degrees.
This is what I would say but switch up some of the words so that your teachers wont think that you got it from a website because they can see what website u have been on and could possibly get a 0%. Have a great day and stay safe :)
