A triangle with one obtuse angle must also have two acute angles. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Whoa now... Remember that the sum of all the angles inside a triangle is ALWAYS 180 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG thnk you terence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if there was a right angle in it, which would not happen, it would be a right triangle

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

More than that, Nicole... a triangle can't have an obtuse angle AND a right angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly...thats what i just said in not those words.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Say, the angles measure a,b, and c. Suppose a is obtuse Then a > 90 Suppose b is right b = 90 Then a+b > 180 And that's not even counting c yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why i put ," which can not happen,"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the anser is true

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It's true :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you know to be true about the values of p and q? A. p < q B. p = q C. p > q D. can't be determined|dw:1363268744528:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as someone said earlier, a triangle equals 180 degrees. so you would subtract the angles you know to find whats left.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

:P I said Nicole, at least say Terence :D Just kidding. But yeah, what's left should be what remains if the sum of the two given angles were taken away from 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how do i find out the anser

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

for the first triangle for instance... what do we know about 80 + 20 + p ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you subtract the angles in the triangle from 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and @terenzreignz , my name is actually hope :) lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100+p

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well... my bad, Hope :) I'm Terence :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im josh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi josh :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah... so about that question Josh? 80 + 20 + p What should these add up to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi Hope you are beautiful... 100+p

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

80 + 20 + p = 100 + p granted... but these are the three angles in the first triangle, and what do we know about the angle sum of a triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IDK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @Fradycat

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

They always add up to 180 (degrees)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right so would it be 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKAY so you know that a triangles angles HAVE TO add up to e 180 right? YOU already have TWO angles in the triangle on the left...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

There you go :) Now do the other triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The anser is 80 so... B.) is my anser

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay... nicely done :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of y? |dw:1363269438974:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put it in an equation like so y+(y-12)+56=180, then solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true
