Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Type of Triangle by Angles
  • The given triangle has two angles of 50° each.
  • The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°.
  • Calculate the third angle: \(180° - 50° - 50° = 80°\).
  • All angles (50°, 50°, and 80°) are less than 90°, so the triangle is acute.
Step 2: Identify the Type of Triangle by Sides
  • The given triangle has two sides of equal length (6 units each).
  • A triangle with two equal sides is classified as isosceles.

Final Answer

  • The triangle is acute and isosceles.
