Question

Is the triangle with 8, 15, and 16 for sides acute, right, or obtuse?

Answer 1

acute triangle.

Explanation:

c² = a² + b² , then the triangle is right

c² < a² + b² , then the triangle is acute

c² > a² + b² , then the triangle is obtuse

8, 15, and 16

16² ....15² + 8²

256 < 289

Therefore it is an acute triangle.
