Answer:

C. Acute

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine the type of triangle any 3 given sides can form.

This,

A right ∆ is formed if a² + b² = c²

An acute ∆ is formed if a² + b² > c²

An obtuse ∆ is formed if a² + b² < c²

Note: c is the longest side of any triangle.

Using the side lengths given:

9.2² + 15.1² ? 17.4²

84.64 + 228.01 ? 302.76

312.65 > 302.76

An acute triangle is formed because a² + b² > c²
