Question

Would a triangle with side lengths 4, 6, 8 be acute, right, or obtuse?

Answer 1

The triangle with side lengths 4, 6, 8 would be an obtuse triangle. This is because the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides (4^2 + 6^2 = 16 + 36 = 52) is less than the square of the longest side (8^2 = 64), according to the Pythagorean theorem.
