Some One Help Please.

Directrix (directrix):

Is there a triangle in the list that has two sides and the non-included angle between those sides given in the list of options?

@firedupme

OpenStudy (fallenangelorchid):

What might you think lad?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix angle Q?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It gives measurement but no angle so thats it?

Directrix (directrix):

Triangle Q: All sides have length 13 cm. No mention of angles here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So im correct arent i ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To create a unique triangle you need to know 2 measurements of the sides and the angle between them

Directrix (directrix):

No. Here is an example of a triangle with 2 sides and the non-included angle given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok then im lost....

Directrix (directrix):

Draw and label the sides and angles of your given options.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle P mentions no sides....

Directrix (directrix):

>>Angle P mentions no sides.... You mean Triangle P, right. There is a difference.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Triangle P.

Directrix (directrix):

Click on the blue DRAW button and sketch the two triangles R and S.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can not becuase i dont have a tool to measure angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only ones i can think are Q and P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So....

Directrix (directrix):

You don't need a tool to measure angles.

Hi @Marki

Directrix (directrix):

I'll draw this one to show you. Triangle R: Two sides have length 3 cm, and the included angle measures 60°.

Directrix (directrix):

60 is the included angle. |dw:1423252286629:dw|
