Checking for the maximal possible length of b , we see that 1 5 8 = b 6 ⟹ b = 4 4 5
From this we know that b has the maximal possible length so △ A B C must be a right triangle, with b being the hypotenuse.
∴ c = ( 4 4 5 ) 2 − 3 6 = 1 6 4 5 2 − 1 6 5 7 6 So c = 1 6 1 4 4 9 ⟹ 4 3 1 6 1
So the correct answer choice is △ A B C is a right triangle and c = 4 3 1 6 1 units.

S i n B = 6 4 5 / 4 ∗ 8 / 1 5 = 1 . ∴ ∠ B = 9 0 o . c = 6 2 − ( 4 5 / 4 ) 2 = 4 3 1 6 1 .
