if measure angle P=21 degrees and measure angle O=37 degrees then what type of triangle is triangle PQO.
We calculate angle Q.

    P + O + Q = 180°
   21°+37°+ Q = 180°
       58°+ Q = 180°
            Q = 180° - 58°
            Q = 122°


     

It fits two categories.  

It is an obtuse triangle because angle Q is obtuse.

It is a scalene triangle because it has no two sides equal in length.

So it is a scalene obtuse triangle.
