2. Tell whether the segment lengths form an acute, right, or obtuse? 9, 12, 17

Answer:
obtuse angled triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 3 segments , say a, b and c , with c the longest then
• If a² + b² = c² ⇒ right triangle
• If a² + b² > c² ⇒ acute triangle
• If a² + b² < c² ⇒ obtuse triangle
Here c = 17 and 17² = 289
9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225
Since 225 < 289 , then triangle is obtuse
