State if each triangle is acute obtuse or right SolutionSolu
State if each triangle is acute, obtuse, or right.
Solution
Solution:
To determine if a triangle is acute, right or obtuse, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. if we have a right triangle, the hypotenuse has a length of c, and the legs of lengths a and b. The Pythagorean theorem says that
a2+b2 = c2
a2+b2 = 212 + 332 = 1530
c2= 1225
from 1530 > 1225
a2+b2 > c2
In this case the triangle is acute
