    obtuse

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The largest angle is about 99°, so the triangle is obtuse.

    __

    If the side lengths given are a, b, and c, respectively, then angle B can be found from the Law of Cosines.

    b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos (B)

    cos (B) = (a² + c² - b²) / (2ac) = (12² + 12 - 13²) / (48√3) = - 13 / (48√3)

    Note that this is negative, so we know the angle is more than 90° meaning the triangle is obtuse.

    B = arccos (-13 / (48√3)) ≈ 98.996°
