<span>When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:1) Square all 3 sides.36, 27, 61

<span><span>2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.1,296 + 729 = 2,025
3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.2,025 < 3,721 if sum > 3rd side² Acute Triangleif sum = 3rd side² Right Triangleif sum < 3rd side² Obtuse TriangleTherefore, it is an Obtuse TriangleSource:http://www.1728.org/triantest.htm </span></span>
