Question

Answer 1

the triangle is an obtuse

Explanation:

draw it out

Answer 2

Answer: Acute Triangle

Explanation:

54 is the hypotenuse because it is the longest side.

Square all of the sides.

So

54^2=2916

51^2=2601

22^2=484

Now you have 2916=2601+484

Add the two on the right and they will be greater than 2916.

Because of that, you will have an acute triangle because 22^2+51^2>54^2
