STEP 1

1. We are given a triangle RQS \triangle RQS with side lengths RQ=5.59 RQ = 5.59 , RS=4.37 RS = 4.37 , and QS=4.37 QS = 4.37 .
2. The angles are R=50 \angle R = 50^\circ , Q=50 \angle Q = 50^\circ , and S=80 \angle S = 80^\circ .
3. We need to classify the triangle by its sides and angles.

STEP 2

1. Determine the type of triangle based on its sides.
2. Determine the type of triangle based on its angles.
3. Match the classification with the given multiple-choice options.

STEP 3

To classify the triangle by its sides, we compare the lengths of the sides. We have RQ=5.59 RQ = 5.59 , RS=4.37 RS = 4.37 , and QS=4.37 QS = 4.37 . Notice that RS=QS RS = QS , which means two sides are equal.

STEP 4

To classify the triangle by its angles, we look at the given angles: R=50 \angle R = 50^\circ , Q=50 \angle Q = 50^\circ , and S=80 \angle S = 80^\circ . All angles are less than 90 90^\circ , which means the triangle is acute.

STEP 5

Now, we combine the classifications: - By sides: The triangle is isosceles because two sides are equal. - By angles: The triangle is acute because all angles are less than 90 90^\circ .
The classification of the triangle is "Isosceles Acute."
