If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then what type of triangle was formed? right acute obtuse scalene

Acute triangle was formed.

This is what you need to know

In ABC with longest side c:

 c²<a²+b² then the triangle is acute.

 c²=a²+b² then the triangle is right.

c²>a²+b²  then the triangle is obtuse.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
