Question

what type of angle is shown?
a right angle
b obtuse angle
c acute angle

Explanation:

To determine the type of angle, we recall the definitions:

• A right angle is exactly \( 90^\circ \) (forms a square corner).
• An obtuse angle is greater than \( 90^\circ \) but less than \( 180^\circ \).
• An acute angle is less than \( 90^\circ \).

Looking at the diagram, the angle formed is less than \( 90^\circ \), so it is an acute angle.

Answer:

C. acute angle
