Answer:25 = 25 Right Triangle. 3, 7 and 9 Squaring each side = 9, 49 and 81. sum of the squares of the short sides = 9 + 49 = 58. 58 < 81 Obtuse Triangle. For determining if the 3 sides can even form a triangle, the triangle inequality theorem states that the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides.
