You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is an acute triangle, because all the angles measure less than 90 degrees, and so those angles are called acute.
It is also a scalene triangle, because all the sides have different lengths.
In any triangle, a larger angle has a larger side opposing it. So your triangle has a small side opposite the 25 degree angle, a larger side opposite the 69 degree angle, and an even larger side opposite the 86 degree angle.
