Question

which statement correctly describes a feature of a right triangle? (1 point) its three angles must always sum up to 360 degrees. it contains three angles that measure less than 90 degrees. it contains one angle that measures more than 90 degrees. it contains one angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Analyze the first option: The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is \(180^\circ\), not \(360^\circ\), so this is incorrect.
  2. Analyze the second option: A right triangle has one right angle (\(90^\circ\)) and two acute angles (less than \(90^\circ\)), so it does not have three angles less than \(90^\circ\), this is incorrect.
  3. Analyze the third option: A right triangle has a right angle (\(90^\circ\)) and two acute angles, it does not have an angle greater than \(90^\circ\) (that would be an obtuse triangle), so this is incorrect.
  4. Analyze the fourth option: By definition, a right triangle is a triangle that contains one angle that measures exactly \(90^\circ\) (a right angle), so this is correct.

Answer:

It contains one angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.
