    Answer: Acute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    18² ___ 10² + 16²

    324 ___ 100 + 256

    324 ___ 356

    324 < 356

    Since the hypotenuse squared is less than the sum of the side lengths squared, the triangle is acute.

    NOTE: a greater than symbol would have resulted in an obtuse triangle and an equal sign would have resulted in a right triangle.
