Answer:

Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of squares of the short sides is 130, so is less than the square of the long side. The long side (12) is longer than it would need to be for a right triangle, so the largest angle is bigger than 90°.

The triangle is obtuse.

_____

A triangle solver app or calculator can confirm this. Note angle C is about 96°, an obtuse angle.

Find the GCF 0f 12 and 18

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Euclid's algorithm, we divide the larger by the smaller. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCF. Otherwise, we replace the larger with the remainder and repeat.

18 ÷ 12 = 1 r 6

12 ÷ 6 = 2 r 0 . . . . the GCF is 6

You can also factor the numbers and see what the common factors are.

18 = 2·3·3

12 = 2·2·3

The common factors are 2·3 = 6.

In the factorizations, we see 2 to powers of 1 and 2, and we see 3 to powers of 1 and 2. The GCF is the product of the common factors to their lowest powers: (2^1)(3^1) = (2)(3) = 6
