@Wolfgirl12

OpenStudy (wolfgirl12):

have you tried graphing this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or can u explain how to do it and yes its graphed thats how i got the cordinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its on geogebra though so i cannot show the graph

OpenStudy (wolfgirl12):

here read this website real quick http://www.teacherschoice.com.au/maths_library/trigonometry/triangle_given_3_points.htm

thank you @Wolfgirl12

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

distance between both points, would be the length of the side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks jdoe

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 what kind of triangle would this be classified as?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm dunno.... what did you get for the sides length?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mp= 5 po=29 om=26

OpenStudy (wolfgirl12):

a scalene triangle has 3 equal sides, and 3 equal angles with 60 degree measurements. an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles. and a scalene triangle has no equal sides or angles. so which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

scalene

OpenStudy (wolfgirl12):

yep

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm yes scalene note: an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knew she meant eqaulateral just a typo

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

:)

OpenStudy (wolfgirl12):

ya sorry lol
