Agreed it is an Obtuse Triangle using the law of sines, angle A is less than angle C, 36.9, because side a is the shortest leg of the triangle, and the fact that 180-(A +C). Must be careful about how many decimals places used in the sides and angles to have things add up correctly. There is online program and certain calculators that can draw the triangle for you so you can check it.
