Question

classify the triangle with the given side lengths as acute, right, obtuse, or not a triangle 11, 13, 25

Answer 1

Notice that if a = 11 and b = 13 are two sides of the triangle, then:

`a+b=11+13=24`

since the larger side measures 25 units, then we cannot write a triangle with the given measures, since a + b cannot be less than the larger side. Therefore, it is not a triangle
