The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the condition given for the angles of a triangle. We will denote the angles of the triangle as \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: The problem states that each angle of the triangle is less than the sum of the other two angles. This can be expressed mathematically as: - \( A < B + C \) - \( B < A + C \) - \( C < A + B \) 2. **Using the Triangle Angle Sum Property**: We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \): \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] 3. **Analyzing Each Angle**: Let's take the first inequality \( A < B + C \). We can substitute \( B + C \) with \( 180^\circ - A \) (since \( B + C = 180^\circ - A \)): \[ A < 180^\circ - A \] Adding \( A \) to both sides gives: \[ 2A < 180^\circ \] Dividing both sides by 2 results in: \[ A < 90^\circ \] 4. **Repeating for Other Angles**: We can apply the same reasoning to angles \( B \) and \( C \): - For \( B < A + C \): \[ B < 180^\circ - B \implies 2B < 180^\circ \implies B < 90^\circ \] - For \( C < A + B \): \[ C < 180^\circ - C \implies 2C < 180^\circ \implies C < 90^\circ \] 5. **Conclusion**: Since all three angles \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are less than \( 90^\circ \), we conclude that the triangle is an **acute-angled triangle**. ### Final Answer: The triangle is an **acute-angled triangle**. ---
