Q. Classify the triangle by its sides, and its angles
Classify Triangle by Angles: First, let's classify the triangle by its angles. We already know one angle is 110∘, and we have found the other two angles to be 20∘ and 50∘. We can classify the triangle by its angles based on these measures.
Identify Obtuse Triangle: Since one angle is greater than 90∘ (110∘), the triangle is an obtuse triangle because it has one angle that is obtuse.
Classify Triangle by Sides: Now, let's classify the triangle by its sides. To do this, we need to know the lengths of the sides, which have not been provided. However, we can still determine the type based on the angle measures.
Determine Scalene Triangle: Since the angles are all different, the sides opposite these angles must also be different. This means the triangle cannot be equilateral (all sides equal) or isosceles (two sides equal). Therefore, by default, it must be scalene, which means all sides have different lengths.
