Solution

Given, one angle is greater than the sum of the other two angles

Let A,BandC be the interior angles of ABC

It is given that, one angle is greater than the sum of the other two angles.

Consider,

A>B+Csince,A+B+C=180°B+C=180°-A

Then,

A>180°-A2A>180°A>180°2A>90°

So, A is an obtuse angle.

Hence, the triangle is an obtuse-angled triangle.
