Question

Determine whether the triangle with the given side lengths is acute,
right, obtuse or not a triangle 14,16,27

Answer 1

Answer:

this triangle is "obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Since sides 14 and 16 add up to 30, which is more than the third side, 27, we DO have a triangle here.  The sides of lengths 14 and 16 form an angle greater than 90 degrees, and so this triangle is "obtuse."  It's not a right triangle either, because the Pythagorean Theorem is not satisfied:  14^2 + 16^2 = 452, which is NOT 27^2.
