Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the problem set:
-
Classify Each Triangle by Its Angles and Sides
I'll provide a brief classification based on angles (acute, right, obtuse) and sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral). -
Problems 10 and 11 - Finding Side Lengths
Use the distance formula to determine the side lengths of triangles and classify each by its side lengths.
Let's begin:
Classification of Triangles
-
Triangle 1:
- Angles: 73°, 73°, 34° (One obtuse angle)
- Sides: Since two angles are the same, it’s isosceles.
- Classification: Isosceles obtuse triangle.
-
Triangle 2:
- Angles: Includes a right angle.
- Sides: Different side lengths.
- Classification: Scalene right triangle.
-
Triangle 3:
- Angles: 127° (obtuse)
- Sides: All sides are different lengths.
- Classification: Scalene obtuse triangle.
-
Triangle 4:
- Angles: All angles are the same (60° each).
- Sides: All sides are the same length (3 mm).
- Classification: Equilateral acute triangle.
-
Triangle 5:
- Angles: Not explicitly given but can assume based on sides.
- Sides: All sides different.
- Classification: Scalene triangle (angle type unknown from image alone).
-
Triangle 6:
- Angles: Given as 41°, 65°, and 74°.
- Sides: All sides are different.
- Classification: Scalene acute triangle.
-
Triangle 7:
- Angles: All 60°.
- Sides: All sides are the same.
- Classification: Equilateral acute triangle.
-
Triangle 8:
- Angles: One angle is 118° (obtuse).
- Sides: Two sides are equal (15 in).
- Classification: Isosceles obtuse triangle.
Problem 9: Classify Triangles with Bisector Information
Using the provided triangle properties and midpoint/bisector information for and :
- a. : Based on given diagram.
- b. : Based on given diagram.
- c. : Based on given diagram.
- d. : Based on given diagram.
Problems 10 and 11: Finding Side Lengths and Classifying
We can apply the distance formula: for each pair of points to find the side lengths of triangles in Problems 10 and 11.
Would you like detailed calculations for Problems 10 and 11, or additional explanations for each classification?
