1. **State the problem:** Determine the type of triangle based on the side lengths and verify if it is right, acute, or obtuse.
2. **Recall the Pythagorean theorem:** For a triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and hypotenuse $c$, if $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, the triangle is right-angled.
3. **Check the first triangle:** Given sides 8, 15, and 17.
Calculate $8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289$.
Calculate $17^2 = 289$.
Since $64 + 225 = 289$, the triangle is right-angled, not obtuse.
4. **Check the second triangle:** Given sides 3, $\sqrt{34}$, and 13.
Calculate $3^2 + (\sqrt{34})^2 = 9 + 34 = 43$.
Calculate $13^2 = 169$.
Since $43 \neq 169$ and $43 < 169$, the triangle is acute, not obtuse.
5. **Summary:** The first triangle with sides 8, 15, 17 is right-angled.
The second triangle with sides 3, $\sqrt{34}$, 13 is acute.
6. **Regarding the graph description:** Triangle ABC with right angle at D on AB, sides AC=13, BC=15, CD=2, AD=12 confirms the right angle at D.
Final answer: The first triangle is right-angled, the second is acute.
