How to mention the triangles, if known
the length of sides?
Specify the type of triangle if it has
the following sizes:
a. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 14
b. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 15
c. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 16
a. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 14
BC is the longest side.
BC2 ... AB2 + AC2
142 ... 122 + 92
196 ... 144 + 81
196 ... 225
b. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 15
BC is the longest side.
BC2 ... AB2 + AC2
152 ... 122 + 92
225 ... 144 + 81
225 ... 225
c. AB = 12, AC = 9, and BC = 16
BC is the longest side.
BC2 ... AB2 + AC2
162 ... 122 + 92
256 ... 144 + 81
256 ... 225
If side length of a triangle are 6 cm, 8
cm, and 4 cm, is it a right, acute, or
obtuse triangle?
This triangle has an angle of
30o, 60o, and 90o,
so we called 30-60-90 triangle.

AB : BC : AC = 1 : √3 : 2
Look at the picture.

So, the length of AB = 3√3 cm

and AC = 3 cm.
This triangle has an angle of
45o, 45o, and 90o,
so we called 45-45-90 triangle.

AB : BC : AC = 1 : 1 : √2
