Math Problem Statement

Determine the type of triangle that is drawn below.

Solution

To determine the type of triangle drawn in the image, let's analyze the given information about its angles and side lengths.

Given Information:

  • Triangle CDE\triangle CDE
  • Angles:
    • C=90\angle C = 90^\circ (Right Angle)
    • D=56\angle D = 56^\circ
    • E=34\angle E = 34^\circ
  • Sides:
    • CD=3.28CD = 3.28
    • CE=4.91CE = 4.91
    • DE=5.91DE = 5.91

Analysis:

Since C=90\angle C = 90^\circ, this triangle is a right triangle by definition, as it has one angle equal to 90 degrees.

Conclusion:

The triangle CDE\triangle CDE is a right triangle.
