I had options a c and d selected? is that right

OpenStudy (aric200):

No just A and B

OpenStudy (aric200):

Wait I am dumb

OpenStudy (aric200):

C. the is an acute angle. B. The triangle is not a right triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if a and are greater than c than it would not be a right triangle then right?

OpenStudy (aum):

If angle C is 90 degrees, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 If angle C is acute, a^2 + b^2 > c^2 If angle C is obtuse, a^2 + b^2 < c^2

OpenStudy (aum):

Since a^2 + b^2 > c^2, angle C is acute and this is NOT a right triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay yay! I had it right then thanks @cutepochacco

OpenStudy (aum):

It is B, C and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B,C,D
