AC > AB Let AB be the longer side of a triangle. What is the locus of the third vertex C, if the triangle is to be obtuse? What is the region where the 3rd point C lies, if AB is to be the longer side? C If C lied outside, then AB would not have been the longest side of the triangle in the first place.

Let AB be the longer side of a triangle. What is the locus of the third vertex C, if the triangle is to be obtuse? It appears that you get acute triangles in the “upper” region and obtuse triangles in the “lower” region. Are the two regions separated by a straight line? Where do the right angled triangles lie?

Acute Obtuse Let AB be the longer side of a triangle. What is the locus of the third vertex C, if the triangle is to be obtuse? There must be a locus where all the vertices of the right angles lie. This locus must be a “line” which divides the region into an “acute region” and an “obtuse region” Acute Obtuse What is this locus? A B © T Madas
