Math Problem Statement

Classify each triangle by its angles and sides. Use the distance formula to determine side lengths for given triangles.

Solution

Let's go through the problem set:

  1. 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).

  2. Problems 10 and 11 - Finding Side Lengths
    Use the distance formula to determine the side lengths of triangles ΔDEF\Delta DEF and classify each by its side lengths.


Let's begin:

Classification of Triangles

  1. Triangle 1:

    • Angles: 73°, 73°, 34° (One obtuse angle)
    • Sides: Since two angles are the same, it’s isosceles.
    • Classification: Isosceles obtuse triangle.
  2. Triangle 2:

    • Angles: Includes a right angle.
    • Sides: Different side lengths.
    • Classification: Scalene right triangle.
  3. Triangle 3:

    • Angles: 127° (obtuse)
    • Sides: All sides are different lengths.
    • Classification: Scalene obtuse triangle.
  4. Triangle 4:

    • Angles: All angles are the same (60° each).
    • Sides: All sides are the same length (3 mm).
    • Classification: Equilateral acute triangle.
  5. 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).
  6. Triangle 6:

    • Angles: Given as 41°, 65°, and 74°.
    • Sides: All sides are different.
    • Classification: Scalene acute triangle.
  7. Triangle 7:

    • Angles: All 60°.
    • Sides: All sides are the same.
    • Classification: Equilateral acute triangle.
  8. 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 QN\overline{QN} and PR\overline{PR}:

  • a. ΔPQR\Delta PQR: Based on given diagram.
  • b. ΔPRT\Delta PRT: Based on given diagram.
  • c. ΔTQS\Delta TQS: Based on given diagram.
  • d. ΔQNP\Delta QNP: Based on given diagram.

Problems 10 and 11: Finding Side Lengths and Classifying ΔDEF\Delta DEF

We can apply the distance formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} for each pair of points to find the side lengths of triangles in Problems 10 and 11.
