Question

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?

Plot both the points on the line segment.

Plot one point on the arc and the other point beyond the arc.

Plot both points on the arc, one on the left and the other on the right.



Plot both the points beyond the arc.

Answer 2

can you help?

Answer 3

There's only one logical choice here. One that would ensure the triangle is scalene.

Answer 4

im having brain cramps so everything is in a fog but ty tho

Answer 5

Do you know what a scalene triangle is?

Answer 6

of course

Answer 7

:)

Answer 8

Would you mind describing it just to be sure?

Answer 9

none of the sides are equal

Answer 10

Okay, knowing that, let's talk about circles real quick.

Answer 11

im in statistics and this strange geometry question just popped up was like waaaa

Answer 12

what about them

Answer 13

Suppose you had a circle and suppose you knew where the center of that circle was.

Answer 14

What is the distance from any point on the circle to the center of the circle?

Answer 15

why are we going through this again lol
