Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem

[tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

c is the longest side

if [tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] > [tex]c^{2}[/tex] then it's acute (greater than)

if [tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] < [tex]c^{2}[/tex] then it's obtuse   (less than)

if they are equal, then its a right triangle

[tex]6^{2}[/tex] + [tex]10^{2}[/tex] = [tex]12^{2}[/tex]

36 + 100 = 144

136 = 144

136 < 144   obtuse
