5. Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
How will we know which is the hypotenuse?
Given the sides of a triangle equal to 16, 30, 34. Does this form a right triangle?

7. Showing Triangles are Obtuse or Acute
Obtuse Triangles – A triangle where one angle is greater than 90 degrees.
If c2 > a2 + b2, where c is the longest side of the triangle then the triangle is an obtuse triangle.
Acute Triangles – A triangle where all angles are less than 90 degrees.
If c2 < a2 + b2, where c is the longest side of the triangle then the triangle is an acute triangle.

In a galaxy far, far away, a spaceship is orbiting the planet Obar. The ship needs to land in a large, flat crater, but the captain wants to make sure the crater is large enough to hold the ship. When the ship is 4 miles above the planet, the onboard guidance system measures the angles of depression from the ship to both sides of the crater. The angles measure 22° and 37°, respectively. What is the distance across the crater? If the spaceship is 2,500 ft long, will it fit in the crater?
