Complete the syllogism. If a triangle is a right triangle, then it has one right angle. If a triangle has one right angle, then the sum of the measures of the other two angles is 90 degrees. Therefore, if … A. a triangle is a right triangle, then it is not equilateral. B. the sum of the measures of two angles is 90, then the angles are complementary. C. a triangle has one right angle, then the longest side is the hypotenuse. D. a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the measures of the other two angles is 90 degrees.
** FAN AND MEDAL FOR ANSWER **
well think about it. lets start with the first one. what makes up an equilateral triangle?
If they are all 60 degrees I think, All even sides
|dw:1433968157608:dw|
thats right
so would a right triangle have all equal angles?
No
so if you out that statement together, would it be true?
Wouldn't it be true because it says not equal or w/e
yes it would be!
So the answer is A?
i would say so, yes.
Can you help with 1 more please?
The law of syllogism states: if p, then q and if q, then r, then the statement if p then r is true
yeah
Determine which argument is valid. A. If a triangle is scalene, it has 3 sides of different lengths. If a triangle has 3 sides with different lengths, the triangle has 3 angles of different measures. If a triangle is scalene, the triangle has 3 angles of different measures. B. If an animal can fly, then it has wings. If an animal is an eagle, then it has wings. If an animal can fly, then it is an eagle. C. If it is a tree, then it has roots. If it has leaves, then it is a plant. If it is a tree, then it has roots and leaves. D. If a number is divisible by 4, then it is divisible by 2. If a number is divisible by 6, then it is divisible by 2. If a number is divisible by 4, then it is divisible by 6.
i'm honestly not sure.

Thank you so much :o
I think the answer to the first question is D, not A
Thanks guysss. I have to go now but I appreciate all the help take care <3
