A triangle can be correctly drawn if you know: A. the measure of its three angles B. the measure of its base and height C. the measure of one of its angles and one of its sides D. the measure of its three sides Is it B?

No, it is D

Oh, okay! That makes much more sense now. Thanks so much!

You're welcome. :)
