Calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle:
The triangle has three different sides, so it's a scalene triangle.
Now if c is the longest side of the triangle, and a and b are the shorter sides, then:
- if , the triangle is right
- if , the triangle is acute
- if , the triangle is obtuse
The longest side is 5.
The square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides, so it's a right triangle.
The triangle is a right scalene triangle.
