Pythagorean Theorema2 + b2 = c2The right angle touches the a and b.
Pythagorean Theorem:a2 + b2 = 2 c c a b
Pythagorean Theorem:a2 + b2 = 2 c 5 3 x
Pythagorean Theorem:32+ x2= 2 c 5 3 x

When you plug the 3 sides of a triangle into the Pythagorean theorem, if the c2 is larger then it is an obtuse triangle. If it is smaller then it is an acute triangle.
Examplea2 + b2 = c292 + 122 = 16281 + 144 = 256225 = 256Is this triangle Acute or Obtuse?
Examplea2 + b2 = c292 + 122 = 16281 + 144 = 256225 = 256Obtuse
