Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Determine whether the triangle is right-angled
00:06 Draw the perpendicular to the angle
00:11 We observe that our angle is smaller than a right angle
00:22 Therefore the triangle is acute
00:27 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine whether a triangle is acute-angled, we note that all interior angles must be less than 9090^\circ. While numerical angle measures are not given, the drawing representation can be analyzed.

Consider the triangle's shape in its entirety. An acute triangle, by definition, implies each angle of the triangle measures less than 9090^\circ. Therefore:

  • No angle appears to be 9090^\circ or greater based on the shape's symmetry and proportion as drawn.
  • If a right angle existed, it would visually resemble an "L" flip or similar straight form.
  • Acuteness indicates a slender or symmetric appearance without any extended right-angle resemblance.

Based on these observations, the triangular drawing presents no visual evidence of existing right or obtuse angles.

Therefore, the shape corresponds best with an acute-angled triangle's properties. Conclusively, the answer to whether the triangle is acute-angled is Yes.

Answer

Yes
