Question

select the best classification for the triangle by its angles. obtuse right acute equiangular

Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property of a triangle

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Step2: Calculate the third angle

Let the third angle be $x$. Then $x=180-(48 + 44)=180 - 92=88^{\circ}$.

Step3: Classify the triangle by angles

An acute - angled triangle has all angles less than 90°. Since 44°, 48°, and 88° are all less than 90°, the triangle is acute.

Answer:

C. Acute
