An obtuse triangle is formed if there is an angle that has a measure of more than 90 degrees. You can determine if an obtuse angle is formed by two sides of a triangle if it meet this condition:

Let a and b be two sides of a triangle and c is the longest side:
[tex] a^{2} + b^{2} \ \textless \ c^{2} [/tex]

So taking your given:

[tex] 10^{2} + 15 ^{2} [/tex] < [tex] c^{2} [/tex]
100 + 225   < [tex] c^{2} [/tex]
325  <  [tex] c^{2} [/tex]

To get the smallest possible number, just get the square root of both sides:

[tex] \sqrt{325} [/tex] < [tex] \sqrt{c^{2} } [/tex]
  18.03  < c

So your smallest possible whole number is 19
