The vertices of a triangle are listed below. L(3,6), M(10,-1), N(3,-8) Which of the following correctly classifies the triangle? just let me know if its obtuse or acute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try plotting each point.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

then use distance formula to find length of sides

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

then to obtain the angles, use law of cosines \[c^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab \cos \theta\] where theta is angle opposite of c

OpenStudy (dumbcow):
