Your classmate is unsure about how to use side lengths to determine the type of triangle. How would you explain this to your cla
ssmate? answer:First, look at the side lengths a, b, and c, where c is the longest. Then take the sum of a squared and b squared and compare it to c squared. If they are equal, the triangle is a right triangle. If c squared is less than a squared plus b squared, the triangle is acute. If c squared is greater than a squared plus b squared, the triangle is obtuse.
