what type of triangles formed if ts sides are 8 units 7 units and 10 units?
----------
No 2 sides equal --> scalene
No angle >= 90 degs --> acute

S=short side=7 units; M=middle side=8 units; L=long side=10 units
S+M>L So it can be a triangle
If three sides are equal then it is an equilateral triangle.
If two sides are equal then it is an isosceles triangle.
If no sides are equal then it is a scalene triangle.
If S%5E2%2BM%5E2=L%5E2 then it is a right triangle.
If S%5E2%2BM%5E2%3EL%5E2 then it is an acute triangle.
If S%5E2%2BM%5E2%3CL%5E2 then it is an obtuse triangle.
S%5E2%2BM%5E2__L%5E2
7%5E2units%5E2%2B8%5E2units%5E2__10%5E2units%5E2
49units%5E2%2B64units%5E2__100units%5E2
+113units%5E2__100units%5E2 113 is greater than 100 and no sides are equal so:
ANSWER: It is an acute scalene triangle.
