Danielle wants to construct different triangles with angle measures of 90, 45, and 5, but she was only able to draw the triangle shown on the right. What mistake might Danielle might have made?

Question

Bexley · Answer

Given two angle measures and the length of the included side, does this side length affect the number of triangles that can be drawn? Explain

Oh, wait, I think I know ! You know the 90 degree, 40 degree and 5 degree part ? Well it needs to add up to 180 degrees. That adds up to 135 degrees. Maybe that's where she got wrong.
