Answer:

Isosceles Triangle and Obtuse Triangle

Explanation:

a, b, c - the sides of the triangle

a ≤ b ≤ c

If a² + b² = c² then it's a right triangle

If a² + b² < c² then it's an obtuse triangle

If a² + b² > c² then it's an acute triangle

We have a = 3 in, b = 3 in and c = 5 in.

Therefore it's the Isosceles Triangle (The Isosceles triangle has two equal sides).

3² + 3² = 9 + 9 = 18

5² = 25

18 < 25, therefore it's the Obtuse Triangle.
