Given the side lengths, determine whether the triangle is acute, right, obtuse, or not a triangle. 15, 16, 21
A Not a Triangle
B Acute
Obtuse
D Right

9514 1404 393

  B  acute

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define a "form factor" for a triangle as ...

  f = a² +b² -c²

where c is the longest side length. It will be interpreted as follows:

For this triangle, our "form factor" is ...

  f = 15² +16² -21² = 225 +256 -441 = 40 . . . . a positive number

The triangle is Acute.

it should be a and d. lmk if i'm wrong xd

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
