The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about triangles is correct, we will analyze each of the four options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the first option: "All angles are always acute."** - A triangle can have angles that are acute (less than 90 degrees), right (exactly 90 degrees), or obtuse (greater than 90 degrees). - Therefore, it is not true that all angles in a triangle are always acute. - **Conclusion:** This option is incorrect. 2. **Analyze the second option: "An angle is always a right angle."** - A triangle can be an equilateral triangle with angles of 60 degrees, or it can be an obtuse triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees. - Thus, it is not true that all angles in a triangle are right angles. - **Conclusion:** This option is also incorrect. 3. **Analyze the third option: "An angle is always an obtuse angle."** - Similar to the previous analysis, a triangle can have angles that are acute or right. For example, an equilateral triangle has all angles equal to 60 degrees, which are acute. - Therefore, it is not true that an angle in a triangle is always obtuse. - **Conclusion:** This option is incorrect as well. 4. **Analyze the fourth option: "An angle is always an acute angle."** - In any triangle, the sum of the angles is always 180 degrees. If one angle is obtuse (greater than 90 degrees) or a right angle (90 degrees), the remaining angles must be acute to maintain the total of 180 degrees. - Thus, at least one angle in any triangle must always be acute. - **Conclusion:** This option is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statement about triangles is: **"An angle is always an acute angle."**
