Question

Find the value of x. Then classify the triangle by its angles.

A.
92; acute

C.
120; obtuse

B.
120; acute

D.
92; obtuse

Answer 1

The answer is C 120 obtuse

Answer 2

C. 120; obtuse

Since you already have two angles, you can use the triangle angle sum theorem and set it to 180.

36+24+x=180

Simplify

60+x=180

Subtract 60 from both sides

X=120

It is an obtuse triangle because it has an angle more than 90 degrees.
