A triangle with angle measures of 20° and 30° _______________________ is triangle.

22west:

There is no diagram

simplysadie:

are you supposed to figure out the type of triangle or?

22west:

The choices are an acute, an obtuse, or a right triangle.

simplysadie:

okay gimmie a second

22west:

Okay

TheSmartOne:

Can you tell me what the 3rd angle of the triangle would be Calculate it. The sum of the angles of a triangle add up to 180.

22west:

I also have 3 more after this one

22west:

130?

TheSmartOne:

Good based on that, can you tell me what kind of triangle it is? Obtuse triangles have an angle that is greater than 90 Acute have all there angles less than 90

22west:

Because 20° + 30° = 50° and subtract 180° and 50° to get 130°

22west:

The answer is obtuse?

TheSmartOne:

That's correct

22west:

I have some more

22west:

On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct two equilateral triangles: one with a side length of 3 inches and one with a side length of 4 inches. Which statement is true about the two triangles? The two triangles are the same size but not the same shape. The two triangles are the same size and same shape. The two triangles are the same shape but not the same size. It is impossible to construct equilateral triangles with these side lengths.

22west:

The problem with this is that I don't have a protractor

TheSmartOne:

You don't need one. Equilateral triangle means all three sides are the same

22west:

Okay

22west:

So 180 div 3?

22west:

\[180 \div 3?\]

TheSmartOne:

Yes all angles will be equal too. Which answer do you think is correct

22west:

60 because 6 * 3 = 18. If you just add a zero like this, 60 * 30 = 180 you get the same answer just with zero's.

22west:

So it is, B. The two triangles are the same size and same shape?

22west:

Right?

22west:

Should I go with that?

TheSmartOne:

Are they the same size? Remember one triangle has a side of 3 while the other is 4

22west:

C

TheSmartOne:

C is correct

22west:

On a piece of paper, use a protractor to construct right triangle DEF with DE=4 in. , m∠D=90° , and m∠E=45° . What statement is true about the triangle? EF=7 in. EF=4 in. DF=2 in. DF=4 in.

22west:

Do you know TGP?

TheSmartOne:

Draw a triangle. DF is the hypotenuse. DE and EF are the legs of the triangle.
