First: Sides are not acute or obtuse. ANGLES are acute or obtuse.
An acute triangle has to have all angles acute. Examples:
60, 60, 60
70, 60, 50
45, 50, 85
45, 45. 90
30, 60, 90
But if one of the angles is obtuse (>90 degrees), then the other two must be acute. Of course, *this* triangle would not be called an acute triangle, because one of its angles is abtuse; it would be called an obtuse triangle.

Is a triangle with sides 10 14 10 obtuse acute or right?
it is an acute triangle.
What are the two sides of a triangle with one 90 degree angle?
It will be a right angle triangle and the other sides will have acute angles.
A triangle has the sides of 13 15 and 17 Is it right acute or obtuse?
It's acute. Sum the squares of the shorter two sides and compare to the square of the longest side. If the sum is less, the triangle is obtuse. If they are equal, the triangle is right angle. If the sum is more, the triangle is acute. 132 + 152 = 169 + 225 = 394 172 = 289 Sum is more so triangle is acute.
What type of triangle does the sides 6 9 8 make?
An acute angled scalene triangle.
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
