Answer:

Obtuse triangle.

Explanation:

The rule to know what type of triangle it is, you do A^2 + B^2 and if it is less than C^2, then it is obtuse. If it is equal, then it is right, and if it is more than, it is acute.

Do this equation fo 7, 8, and 12

7^2 + 8^2 =? 12^2

49 + 64 =? 144

113 < 144

113 is less than 144 which means that it is an obtuse triangle
