1. The problem asks to identify the type of angle for the equation $y = 80^6$. 2. The value $80^6$ represents an angle measure in degrees. 3. An acute angle is any angle less than $90^\circ$. 4. A right angle is exactly $90^\circ$. 5. An obtuse angle is greater than $90^\circ$ but less than $180^\circ$. 6. Since $80^\circ < 90^\circ$, the angle is an acute angle. Final answer: The angle is an acute angle.
