Answer:
It is not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has side lengths of 8 inches, 12 inches, and 16 inches.
To determine if it is a Right Triangle, we make use of the Pythagoras Theorem, i.e.
Now the Hypotenuse is always the longest side
The equality above is not true and in fact
Therefore the 3 numbers do not satisfy Pythagoras theorem and cannot be the lengths of a right triangle.

Answer:
55°
Step-by-step explanation:
A couple of auxiliary lines can be helpful.
We see that 45° is an exterior angle to the bottom triangle, which has remote interior angles that must total 45°. This means the interior angle at bottom left must be 45° -15° = 30°.
The upper right interior angle is alternate to that, so is the same measure. The exterior angle x to the upper triangle is then the sum of the remote interior angles:
x = 25° +30°
x = 55°
