(a)Acute angled (b)Obtuse angled (c) Right angled (d) Triangle can not be possibleTHESE OPTIONS ARE GIVEN IN MY BOOK

Answer»

Option is (b) obtuse angled triangle.

Explanation

Given ratio of the sides =2:6:7

Let the sides are 2x,6x and 7x unit.

Square of the longest side =49x2

Sum of the square of other two sides are = 4x2+36x2=40x2

If this is 49x2 then by Pythagoras theorem the triangle would be right triangle.

But  the sum is less than 49x2. So the triangle is obtuse one.

Mnemonic

If a,b,c are three sides of a triangle such that c is the longest side then

When c2 = a2+b2 -> triangle is rt angled

When c2 > a2 +b2 -> triangle is obtuse angled

When c2 < a2+b2-> triangle is acute angled
