Question

How can the triangle shown be classified?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.


A. isosceles

B. equilateral

C. scalene

D. acute

E. right

F. obtuse

Answer 1

My answers are E and F

Answer 2

hmmm what's an obtuse angle anyway?

Answer 3

the way i would explain it would be like an extended angle

Answer 4

an extended? extended beyond what though?

Answer 5

I believe its more than 90 but less than 180 degress

Answer 6

ok... that sounds abiout right

now...what's a right angle?

Answer 7

a right angle is exactly 90 degress

Answer 8

ok...yes

E and F are saying
it has 90 degrees
and it has more than 90 degrees but less than 180

so... they're kinda cancelling each other oiut

Answer 9

Scalene because their are no congruent sides

Answer 10

http://www.mathsisfun.com/triangle.html <---- notice at the definition of an "isosceles"

it simply needs to have 2 "equal sides"
they can be really long or short, but equal
so
notice yours

Answer 11

yours has, 2 sides that are equal
and has a 90 degree angle

Answer 12

I didn't say isosceles because I didn't think anything was congruent until i looked at the link you sent the tips of the triangles across from each other are congruent

Answer 13

E and A

Answer 14

yeap

Answer 15

Thank you

Answer 16

Here are the 6 descriptions you have arranged as the vertices of a hexagon.
If there is a segment between two descriptions, that means a triangle can be both of those things.
Any descriptions that are not connected by a segment cannot both be true about a triangle.
