The type of triangle defined by the following set of side lengths is an obtuse triangle
Properties of a triangle.
Triangles are 2-dimensional shapes with 3 sides and angles.
The triangle with the sides 12, 8 and 16 is considered a triangle since the sum of two of its sides is greater than the third.
The triangle is not right angle since the sum of its longest side is not equal to the sum of the square of other two sides.
This shows that the triaangle can either be acute or obtuse. Since one of the sides differes from the other by 8 units, hence one of its angles will be greater than 90 degrees.
