Answer:

Triangle 1's answers:

9² + 12² = 15²

15² = 225

Right Triangle

Trangle 2's answers:

6² + 15² =
√(261)

18² = 324

Obtuse Triangle

Explanation:

The answers to number 1 for each triangle are solved exactly how they are written :).

The number 2s of each triangle are just numbers squared. 15 squared is 225. 18 squared is 324.

Triangle 1 is a right triangle because the angle is a right angle and the triangle can be solved perfectly using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Triangle 2 is an Obtuse Triangle because one side has a way larger angle than the other two angles.

Hope it helps!
