Solution

Acute angled

Explanation:

cot A cot B cot C > 0

  • Case I:
    cot A, cot B, cot C > 0
    ∴ cot A > 0, cot B > 0, cot C > 0
    ∴ 0 < A < `pi/2`, 0 < B < `pi/2`, 0 < C < `pi/2`
    ∴ ΔABC is an acute angled triangle.
  • Case II:
    Two of cot A, cot B, cot C < 0
    0 < A, B, C < π and
    two of cot A, cot B, cot C < 0
    ∴ Two of angles A, B, C are in 2nd quadrant which is not possible.
