An obtuse triangle is formed if there is an angle that has a measure of more than 90 degrees. You can determine if an obtuse angle is formed by two sides of a triangle if it meet this condition:
Let a and b be two sides of a triangle and c is the longest side:

So taking your given:

<

100 + 225 <

325 <

To get the smallest possible number, just get the square root of both sides:

<

18.03 < c
So your smallest possible whole number is 19

Answer:
Sam
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam made a mistake when he said
. The steps should have been:

You are supposed to square 5 first before multiplying 2. Sam multiplied by 2 first. The correct answer is 30.
Answer:
x = 1
y = 5
z = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
System of equations:
6x - 2y + z = -2
2x + 3y - 3z = 11
x + 6y = 31
Isolate one variable in any of the equations:
x + 6y = 31
x = 31 - 6y
Plug in this value for x in another equation:
6(31 - 6y) - 2y + z = -2
186 - 36y - 2y + z = -2
186 - 38y + z = -2
-38y + z = -188
z = -188 + 38y
Plug in these values in the remaining equation:
2(31 - 6y) + 3y - 3(-188 + 38y) = 11
62 - 12y + 3y + 564 - 114y = 11
626 - 12y + 3y - 114y = 11
626 - 9y - 114y = 11
626 - 123y = 11
-123y = -615
y = 5
Plug in value of y into our other answers to solve for x and z:
x = 31 - 6(5)
x = 31 - 30
x = 1
z = -188 + 38(5)
z = -188 + 190
z = 2
Check your work:
6x - 2y + z = -2
6(1) - 2(5) + 2 = -2
6 - 10 + 2 = -2
-4 + 2 = -2
-2 = -2
Correct!
