acute-angled triangle
Definition
Noun: A triangle in which all three interior angles measure less than 90 degrees. This geometric shape is characterized by having no right (90-degree) or obtuse (greater than 90-degree) angles.
Usage
The term is used in geometry to classify a specific type of triangle based on the measures of its angles. It is a precise, descriptive term. * An acute-angled triangle can be equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, as long as all angles are acute. * To determine if a triangle is an acute-angled triangle, you must measure each of its interior angles.
Advanced Usage
- Mathematical Property: In an acute-angled triangle, the square of the length of any side is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This is related to the law of cosines.
- For any side 'c' of an acute-angled triangle with opposite angle C, the condition c² < a² + b² holds true.
