Suppose a triangle has the sides 12, 35, and 37 Determine whether the triangle is acute, obtuse, or right. Justify the response. The triangle is an obtuse triangle because 122 + 352 = 37². The triangle is a right triangle because 122 +352 = 37². The triangle is an acute triangle because 122 + 352> 37². The triangle is an obtuse triangle because 122 + 352 < 37².
