Solution Steps

00:00 What triangle is shown in the drawing?
00:03 Let's check the triangle's angles and their relation to a right angle
00:06 Angle A is less than a right angle
00:11 The same applies to angles B and C
00:14 A triangle where all angles are less than 90 degrees is acute
00:18 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

As all the angles of a triangle are less than 90° and the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180°:

70+70+40=180 70+70+40=180

The triangle is isosceles.

Answer

Isosceles triangle
