Given 3 sides of a triangle , with c being the side with the longest length , we can use the following three theorems to classify the triangle :

If c^2 = a^2 + b^2 , then the triangle is a right triangle .

If c^2 < a^2+ b^2 , then the triangle is an acute triangle . 

If c^2> a^2 + b^2 , then the triangle is an obtuse triangle .
