- A triangle is acute if and only if each of its altitudes lies entirely in the triangle's interior.
- A triangle with sides of length
and 
is acute if and only if

. This is known as the Pythagorean Inequality. It is a consequence of the Law of Cosines as the cosine of an angle that is less than 90 degrees is positive.
and

, 
and
