A triangle has side lengths of 24 in., 32 in., and 40 in. Is the triangle acute, obtuse, or right
1 answer
This triangle is a right triangle because it satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, 24^2 + 32^2 = 40^2.
