Problem 1
Question
The measure of an angle is given. Classify the angle as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. $$135^{\circ}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The angle is an obtuse angle.
1Step 1: Determine the range the angle falls into
The angle given is 135 degrees. Comparing this to our rules for classifying angles, we see that 135 degrees is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
2Step 2: Classify the Angle
Since our angle is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, according to the classification rules, the angle is therefore an obtuse angle.
