Using the side lengths, determine whether the triangle is acute, obtuse, or right.
side a = 2
side b = 8
side c = 7

An obtuse triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the different sides of a triangle that is Side A = 2, Side B = 8 and Side C = 7.

According to the question, we can tell the triangle is acute, obtuse or a right triangle.

We know that,    

For given sides x,y,z of a triangle,

If = , then its a right triangle.

If < , then its an acute triangle.

If > , then its an obtuse triangle.

We have a = x = 2, b = z = 8 and c = y = 7.

Note: We always take z as the greatest side length.

Now,

We can see that, 4 + 49 < 64.

So, we can apply rule

if > , then its an obtuse triangle.

Therefore,

Given sides are of an obtuse triangle.

you're missing vital information, add to it so we can solve this problem for you.

step-by-step explanation:

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
