Answer:
obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines tells you ...
b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)
Substituting for a²+c² using the given equation, we have ...
b² = b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B)
We can subtract b² to get a quadratic in standard form for cos(B).
b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B) -b² = 0
Solving this using the quadratic formula gives ...

The fraction ac/b² is always positive, so the term on the right (the square root) is always greater than 1. The value of cos(B) cannot be greater than 1, so the only viable value for cos(B) is ...

The value of the radical is necessarily greater than ac/b², so cos(B) is necessarily negative. When cos(B) < 0, B > 90°. The triangle is obtuse.

Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
I warn you, I'm not positive I'm correct.
First I added 8+10+6 and got 24
I divided that by 3 and got 8
I divided 100 by 8 because if you cross multiply 1/8 and x/100 you would get 8x = 100
100 ÷ 8 = 12.5
So I got 12.5%
