Respuesta :

This triangle is right.

80² + 39² = 89²
6400 + 1521 = 7921
7921 = 7921 

We can classify the triangle to be right ,acute or obtuse with respect to their sides . c is the longest sides .For any triangle with sides a,b,c if

1) [tex] a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} [/tex] the triangle is a right triangle .

2) [tex] a^{2} +b^{2} <c ^{2} [/tex] the triangle is obtuse.

3) [tex] a^{2} +b ^{2} >c ^{2} [/tex]

Given triangle has side lengths of 80 cm ,39 cm,89 cm . 89 cm is the largest side or c= 89 cm.

[tex] 80^{2} +39^{2} =89^{2} [/tex]

6400+1521 = 7921

7921=7921

[tex] a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} [/tex]

The given triangle is a right triangle.
