S=short side=4 units; M=middle side=5 units; L=long side=7 units
\n" ); document.write( "S+M>L So it can be a triangle
\n" ); document.write( "If three sides are equal then it is an equilateral triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If two sides are equal then it is an isosceles triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If no sides are equal then it is a scalene triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If \"S%5E2%2BM%5E2=L%5E2\" then it is a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If \"S%5E2%2BM%5E2%3EL%5E2\" then it is an acute triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "If \"S%5E2%2BM%5E2%3CL%5E2\" then it is an obtuse triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "\"S%5E2%2BM%5E2\"__\"L%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%5E2units%5E2%2B5%5E2units%5E2\"__\"7%5E2units%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16units%5E2%2B25units%5E2\"__\"49units%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+41units%5E2\"__\"49units%5E2\" 41<49, no sides equal, so this is an obtuse triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Since the triangle has no equal sides, it is an obtuse scalene triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
