As part of constructing a scalene triangle, Jordan drew a line segment and plotted one vertex of the triangle on the line segment. With this vertex as the center, Jordan drew an arc to create a 180 degree angle. How can Jordan ensure that the other two points he plots will represent the remaining two vertices of a scalene triangle?

@ganeshie8  I think it is B??

ganeshie8 · Answer

you got it right ! B is right cuz for a scalene you want all 3 sides different, so if u put one point on arc and other one beyond the arc, that gives you all 3 sides different most of the time.
