How can you tell if 3 sides of a triangle are acute or obtuse?

First you would square the length of each of the sides. You'd add the squares of the smaller two numbers. If they are smaller than the square of the biggest side, then the triangle is obtuse. If their sum is bigger, then the triangle is acute. If they are equal, then the triangle is a right triangle.Example:length of sides-23, 34, 49232+342__492529+1156__24011685


Why do two square numbers multiplied together equal to another square number?

A square number can be arranged into a square when represented by little squares. For example, take the number nine. Use nine little squares, and you can make a big square that is three by three. Now, if you divided each of the little squares into a square number, such as 16, each little square is now 16 by 16. When you multiply 16 by 9 You can put these groups of sixteen squares into a bigger square just like when you have one square number.
