Acute:

[tex]c^2Right:[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

Obtuse:

[tex]c^2>a^2+b^2[/tex]

For the given triangle;

- Find the square of the longest side:

[tex]16^2=256[/tex]

-Find the sum of the squares of the other sides:

[tex]13^2+14^2=169+196=365[/tex]As the sum of the squares of the to smallest sides (365) is greater than the square of the longest side (256) it is an acute triangle.Answer: Acute triangle
