4. Classify the triangle with the given side lengths as acute, right, obtuse, 10 points
or not a triangle. 21, 28, 35
Not a triangle
Acute

Obtuse

Answer 1

3) Obtuse

4) Right

Explanation:

3)

11 + 13 > 25 It is a triangle

11² + 13² = 25²

121 + 169 = 625

290 ≠ 625

Since hypotenuse is larger, the triangle is obtuse

4)

21 + 28 > 35 It is a triangle

21² + 28² = 35²

441 + 784 = 1225

1225 = 1225

Since the hypotenuse is equal to the legs, it's a Right triangle
