Mathematics Knowledge

The topic of triangles is one of the topics that I cover in my review of Mathematics Knowledge.  Triangles are one of the 15 subtopics that I review in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide.  In my review of triangles, I review the different types of triangles based on their angles, the different types of triangles based on their sides, types of angles, and Pythagorean theorem.

Today I present a Mathematics Knowledge question.

 The question is a geometry question, and it is about triangles.  It is about the angles in a triangle.

The question is:

What is a triangle called that has one angle that is greater than 90 degrees?

  1. Equilateral
  2. Acute
  3. Right
  4. Obtuse

Do you know what the name of an angle is that is greater than 90 degrees?

A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees goes by the same name.

I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
