Question

Determine if the side lengths listed create a right triangle, acute triangle, obtuse triangle, or do not make a triangle. 3, 9, 10 Determina si las longitudes de los lados enumeradas crean un triángulo rectángulo, un triángulo agudo, un triángulo obtuso o no forman un triángulo. 3, 9, 10 * 1 point right acute obtuse not a triangle

Answer 1

Obtuse triangle

Explanation:

Given the side lengths :

3, 9, 10

Let :

a = 3 ; b = 9 ; c = 10 (longest side)

If a² + b² = c² (right angle)

If a² + b² > c² (acute angle)

If a² + b² < c² (obtuse angle)

a² + b²

3² + 9²

9 + 81 = 90

c² = 10² = 100

90 < 100

Hence,

a² + b² < c² (then we have an obtuse triangle)
