Question

Given the side measurements. classify the triangle as acute, right, obtuse, or not a triangle. 11, 4, 16

Answer 1

Answer: not a triangle

Explanation:

If this were to be a triangle, the shorter sides would be 11 and 4 and the longest side would be 16.

First, we should determine if it is a triangle.

• Sum of shorter sides = 15
• This is less than the longest side, 16, so therefore, it is not a triangle.
