Triangles and Their Side Lengths

Question 1 • AZ-Geometry A (MA201)

Under which angle conditions could a triangle exist? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
3 acute angles
B
2 acute angles, 1 right angle
C
1 acute angle, 1 right angle, 1 obtuse angle
D
1 acute angle, 2 obtuse angles
E
2 acute angles, 1 obtuse angle

Explanation

A triangle’s interior angles must add up to 180°. Three acute angles can add to 180°, such as 60° + 60° + 60°, and two acute angles plus one right angle can also add to 180°. Two obtuse angles already total more than 180°, so choices C and D are impossible; choice E can work, for example 30° + 60° + 90° is not obtuse, but 30° + 70° + 80° is also not obtuse—actually two acute angles and one obtuse angle can total 180°, such as 40° + 40° + 100°.
