I think that such triangle can \(not\) to be a right triangle, since we have: \[\sqrt {{{29}^2} + {{31}^2}} = 42.45 < 48\]

OpenStudy (coexist2):

so it's acute?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, I think such triangle can be this: |dw:1464370084482:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

wherein the angle \(a\) is greater than 90 degrees

OpenStudy (coexist2):

obtuse?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think so!

OpenStudy (coexist2):

thanks.
