Tony plotted points P, Q, and R to represent the vertices of a triangle as shown in the figure below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What should Tony do to make triangle PQR an acute scalene triangle? Answer Choices: Move Q to the right of segment XY beyond the arc. Move P to the point of intersection of segment XY and the arc. Move R to the point of intersection of segment XY and segment LM. Move P to the right of segment XY beyond the arc.

@tible19 @qweqwe123123123123111 do you know this one? I dont even have a guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it wouldnt be a because that would make it obtuse...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 i barely remember this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i mean that would make it a right triangle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grr wait b would make it a right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 so its definitely not A or B?O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the WEIRDEST damned question I think I've ever seen on here. Much as I dislike just handing out answers, I'm just gonna do it here because it's so bizarre. Move P to the right of segment XY beyond the arc. That makes Q an acute angle with no possibility of any legs being equal length (which is the definition of a scalene)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i was about to say that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 @qweqwe123123123123111 ohh okay thank you guys so muchhh(:!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NP!! And thanks!! :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

glad to be of service :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another question that im stuck between two answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i put it here or another post?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either way i don't mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the triangle XYZ with O as its circumcenter. Which line segment will pass through point O in the triangle XYZ? Answer Choices: The line segment from angle Z perpendicular to side XY. The line segment from angle X that is perpendicular to side ZY. The line segment bisecting angle XZY. The line segment which is the perpendicular bisector of side ZY.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im thinking its D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 ok im right? or ok you're thinking lol?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 ohh okay lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol uh yeah i think it is B... but you might wanna ask qweqwe first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 okay thanks. @qweqwe123123123123111 do you agree its B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know what to put:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, it's not B The circumcenter of a triangle is that point through which all PERPINDICULAR BISECTORS of every side pass through. They only bisect their opposite angle on a isosceles or equilateral triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qweqwe123123123123111 so is it D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IOW, draw a line at a right angle to any side and put it at the center of that side, and all 3 lines will pass through a single point called the "circumcenter"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. D. :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qweqwe123123123123111 yayyyyy lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The red dot in the middle of this triangle is its circumcenter:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qweqwe123123123123111 so the point O is the circumcenter of the triangle in the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qweqwe123123123123111 @tible19 i tagged you in another question that i need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i was finishing a science test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 its okay take your time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what question did you need help on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tible19 i tagged you in it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!! Very good!! :-) BTW, there's another kind of triangle center called a "centroid" that is the "center of gravity" so to speak of a triangle. In that kind, drawing lines from the centers of the side through the verteces of their opposite angles will also pass through a single point called its "centroid"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@qweqwe123123123123111 ohh yes i remember studying centroids (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't find any other tags but here. Where's your "other question"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First question....

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Move P to the right of segment XY beyond the arc.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that gives u acute scalene

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THanks!
