1. **State the problem:** We have a triangle with angles measuring 165°, 8°, and 7°. We need to determine what kind of triangle it is based on its angles. 2. **Recall triangle angle rules:** The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180°. 3. **Check the sum:** Calculate $165° + 8° + 7° = 180°$, so these angles do form a valid triangle. 4. **Classify the triangle by angles:** - An **acute** triangle has all angles less than 90°. - A **right** triangle has one angle exactly 90°. - An **obtuse** triangle has one angle greater than 90°. 5. **Analyze the given angles:** The angle 165° is greater than 90°, so the triangle is **obtuse**. **Final answer:** The triangle is an **obtuse** triangle.
