Jakayla Walker · Answer 1

pythagorean inequalities includes 3 cases assuming a, b, c are three sides of the triangle

if c^2>a^2+b^2 then its obtuse

if c^2
if c^2=a^2+b^2 then its right

Elena Collier · Answer 2

To solve this problem, you need to use the Phythagorean theorem c^2 is equal to the sum of a^2 and b^2. If a less than or equal to b and b is less than or equal to c or a^2 plus b^2 is greater than c^2 then it is an acute angle.
