hi

in a triangle with sides a b c

if it says

a^2 + b^2 > c^2

what does this tell about the triangle

can an angle be < 90 or > 90 or = 90

is it a acute / obtuse angled triangle

is there a relationship on the sides of triangles to tell whether its a obtuse / scalene triangle ?
thanks

Hi,

a^2 + b^2 > c^2 Then triangle is obtuse (one angle is greater than 90)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 Then triangle is right triangle
a^2 + b^2 < c^2 Then triangle is acute (all angles are less than 90)

regards,
Jack

I should say:
a²+b²>c² for acute triangle and a²+b²<c² for obtuse triangle
take an equilateral triangle for example.
