If each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is acute angled.

Given,

Each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two.


Therefore,


A + B + C


A + A < A + B + C


2A < 180o [Sum of all angles of a triangle]


A = 90o


Similarly,


B < 90o and C < 90o


Hence, the triangle is acute angled.
