Theorem 7•6
If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, the triangle is obtuse
Theorem 7•7
If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, the triangle is acute
Theorem 7•8 (45°-45°-90° triangle theorem)
Hypothenuse = √2 • leg
Theorem 7•9 (30°-60°-90° triangle theorem)
Hypotenuse = 2• shorter leg
Longer leg = √3 • shorter leg
