Question

Decide if the segment lengths 14, 48, 50 form a triangle. If so would the triangle be acute right or obtuse

Answer 1

if you can show that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is true, then you'll have a right triangle (with c being the longest side)

Answer 2

Welcome to OpenStudy!!
I'd suggest you start off by reviewing the meaning of the three terms, right triangle, acute triangle, obtuse triangle. That way, you have a better chance of recognizing what kind of triangle you have (if you have one).
Another suggestion: Make a rough sketch of this triangle. If done with reasonable care, your sketch may tell you the answer to this question.
