Answer:

The triangle is not a right triangle


(\theta) is an acute angle


cos(\theta) > 0

Explanation:

we know that

If a²+b²>c²

then

Is an acute triangle

therefore

angle theta must be less than 90 degrees

Hence

The triangle is not a right triangle


cos(\theta) > 0


(\theta) ---> is an acute angle
