Exercise 17 Page 540

The angle that is less than 90^(∘) is called acute angle.

A

Practice makes perfect

We are given a triangle with a marked angle.

To classify the angle, we can look only at the angle. We do not have to consider the whole triangle.

Now let's classify the angle.

Type Measure
Acute 0^(∘)
Right m=90^(∘)
Obtuse 90^(∘)
Straight m=180^(∘)

Because our angle is less than 90^(∘), we know that it is acute. This corresponds to option A.
