You can put this solution on YOUR website! given the three sides of a triangle, classify the triangle as acute,right or obtuse the three sides are 0.3,0.4,0.6 how can i tell if there is no picture of the triangle with just those coordinates
----------
Call the longest side c.
---
If c^2 > a^2 + b^2 it's obtuse.
If c^2 = a^2 + b^2 it's a right triangle.
If c^2 < a^2 + b^2 it's acute.
----------
You can use 3, 4 and 6 for sides, no reason to mess with fractions.
