The law of cosines can be helpful here. The largest angle (C) will be opposite the longest side (c). That law tells us ...

... c² = a² + b² -2ab·cos(C)

Then

... cos(C) = (a² +b² -c²)/(2ab)

We don't actually need the angle. We only need to know the sign of the cosine.

... cos(C) = (7² +15² -17²)/(2·7·15) = -15/210 . . . . negative sign, so C > 90°

The sail has the shape of an obtuse triangle.

_____

... cos(C) = (7² +15² -17²)/(2·7·15) = -15/210 . . . . negative sign, so C > 90°

The two answers are the one selected and the choice |x-5| ≤ 1. The steps to solve the other equation are:
|x-5| ≤ 1
x-5 ≤ 1, x-5 ≥ 0
-(x-5) ≤ 6, x-5 is less than 0
x ≤ 6, x ≥ 5
x ≥ 4, x is less than 5
x ∈ [5,6]
x ∈ [4,5]
4 ≤ x ≤ 6
