What type of triangle is shown?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You have a picture?

OpenStudy (melody323):

Here are the choices. equiangular triangle acute triangle right triangle obtuse triangle

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Well, ere going to have to figure out what x is so we know for sure

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So how many degree are in a triangle?

OpenStudy (melody323):

180?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes and that is when you add up all angles so we are going to add up all 3 angles and set it equal to 180

OpenStudy (melody323):

Ok

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So 4x-10+2x+15+x=180 can you add like terms on the left side?

OpenStudy (melody323):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Add the x's up together and the constants or numbers up can you do that? on the left side

OpenStudy (melody323):

No, I'm not very good at that.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Here I'll help what is 4x+2x+x

OpenStudy (melody323):

6x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

close 4x+2x=6x but we're still adding 1x so 6x+1x=?

OpenStudy (melody323):

7x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes now we need to add our other numbers -10+15=?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@Melody323

OpenStudy (melody323):

12x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

No you were right now these are just numbers so you won't get any x's for this part, -10+15=? You can plug it into your calculator if you have to

OpenStudy (melody323):

5

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

good so all can turn into 7x+5=180

OpenStudy (melody323):

ok

OpenStudy (melody323):

Is it and equiangular triangle?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

We gotta figure it out :) were almost done we need to solve for x

OpenStudy (melody323):

ok

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Do you know what you need to do first 7x+5=180

OpenStudy (melody323):

No

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Get the 5 over to the other side thing of PEMDAS backwards

OpenStudy (melody323):

ok

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So you have addition what is the opposite of addition?

OpenStudy (melody323):

175

OpenStudy (melody323):

Subtraction

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Good so 7x=175

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Now?

OpenStudy (melody323):

2x+ 15

OpenStudy (melody323):

?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

We need to solve for x

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So what is the opposite of multiplication because 7x is like 7 times x

OpenStudy (melody323):

Division

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Good so divide by 7 on both side you get?

OpenStudy (melody323):

1

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes on the left side you get 1x or x= but what is 175/7?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

X=25 is that what you got?

OpenStudy (melody323):

25

OpenStudy (melody323):

Yes

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes now plug that into the two angles

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

4x-10 so 4(25)-10=?

OpenStudy (melody323):

90

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes and if we get an angle of 90 degrees we automatically know we have a right triangle so that is what we have here

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@Melody323

OpenStudy (melody323):

yes

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So that is your answer :)

OpenStudy (melody323):

Thank You so much.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You're welcome :)

OpenStudy (melody323):

Select all of the categories that apply for the figure below.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Multiple choice?

OpenStudy (melody323):

quadrilateral trapezoid parallelogram rhombus rectangle square

OpenStudy (melody323):

Yes

OpenStudy (melody323):

Do you know the answers?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I know a couple but I'm not sure if I know all the answers and plus I don't just give answers

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I can get someone over here

OpenStudy (melody323):

Ok

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

@Directrix

OpenStudy (melody323):

Can you message them?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Sure

OpenStudy (melody323):

Ok

OpenStudy (melody323):

Never mind I figured it out.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay well it cant be obtuse because there is no obtuse angle it cant be equilateral because all the sides are not the same it cant be right triangle because there is no right angle

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

it only leaves you with one answer

OpenStudy (mathmale):

all of the angles of this triangle are a__________ , and therefore this is an a____________ triangle. (Fill in the blanks.)

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

There is a right angle is you solve for x and put it back into the equation

OpenStudy (rocker4744):

it is a right triangle
