Answer 1

Answer:

  a) 625; 625; right triangle

  b) 205; 256; obtuse triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The squares are values found in your memory or using a calculator. It is straightforward addition to find their sum.

left side

7² +24² = 49 +576 = 625

25² = 625

The sum of the squares of the short sides is the square of the long side, so this is a right triangle.

__

right side

6² +13² = 36 +169 = 205

16² = 256

The long side is longer than is needed to form a right triangle, so the largest angle is more than 90°. This is an obtuse triangle (as shown).
