equiangular
obtuse

Answer 1

Answer 2

An Acute triangle is any triangle that has sides less than 90 degrees. A right triangle is any triangle that has an angle of 90 degrees. Obtuse has to be over 180 degrees. Does that make sense?

Answer 3

yes @Kit_Kat_Nat_<3

Answer 4

Alright :3 Based on that can you answer this question? :)

Answer 5

acute @Kit_Kat_Nat_<3

Answer 6

Yes, that would be correct, @Saylilbaby :3 :)

Answer 7

To figure it out plug in the side lengths in the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
15^2+20^2=25^2
You would plug in 25 as c^2 because it is the longest side, meaning it is the hypotenuse.

225+400=625
625=625
This means it is right triangle.

It won't be an acute angle because it is talking about side lengths not angles.

Answer 8

@Kit_Kat_Nat_<3 she say its wrong

Answer 9

Yes, I see now @Saylilbaby . I forgot, sorry. Give her a medal.

Answer 10

It would be acute if it ended up being a^2+b^2 > c^2
obtuse would be a^2+b^2 < c^2
