Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the definitions of angle types based on their measures in degrees: an acute angle is between 0° and 90°, a right angle is exactly 90°, an obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°, and a reflex angle is between 180° and 360°.
Identify the given angle measure, which is 154°.
Compare 154° with the angle type ranges: since 154° is greater than 90° but less than 180°, it falls within the range of an obtuse angle.
Conclude that a 154° angle in standard position is classified as an obtuse angle.
Note that angles greater than 180° but less than 360° would be reflex angles, which does not apply here.
