Example Question #1 :Acute / Obtuse Triangles
Which of the following is true about a triangle with two angles that measureand?
This triangle is isosceles and right.
This triangle cannot exist.
This triangle is scalene and obtuse.
This triangle is scalene and right.
This triangle is isosceles and obtuse.
This triangle cannot exist.
A triangle must have at least two acute angles; however, a triangle with angles that measureandcould have at most one acute angle, an impossible situation. Therefore, this triangle is nonexistent.
Example Question #2 :How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle
Which of the following is true about a triangle with two angles that measureeach?
The triangle is obtuse and scalene.
The triangle cannot exist.
The triangle is acute and isosceles.
The triangle is obtuse and isosceles.
The triangle is acute and scalene.
The triangle cannot exist.
A triangle must have at least two acute angles; however, a triangle with angles that measurewould have two obtuse angles and at most one acute angle. This is not possible, so this triangle cannot exist.
Example Question #1 :Solve Simple Equations For An Unknown Angle In A Figure: Ccss.Math.Content.7.G.B.5
One angle of an isosceles triangle has measure. What are the measures of the other two angles?
Not enough information is given to answer this question.
An isosceles triangle not only has two sides of equal measure, it has two angles of equal measure. This means one of two things, which we examine separately:
Case 1: It has anotherangle. This is impossible, since a triangle cannot have two obtuse angles.
Case 2: Its other two angles are the ones that are of equal measure. If we letbe their common measure, then, since the sum of the measures of a triangle is,
Both angles measure
Example Question #6 :Acute / Obtuse Triangles
The angles of a triangle measure. Evaluate.
度之和措施的角度triangle is 180, so we solve forin the following equation:
Example Question #7 :Acute / Obtuse Triangles
The acute angles of a right triangle measureand.
Evaluate.
The degree measures of the acute angles of a right triangle total 90, so we solve forin the following equation:
Example Question #8 :Acute / Obtuse Triangles
Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale
Refer to the above figure.;.
What is the measure of?
Congruent chords of a circle have congruent minor arcs, so since,, and their common measure is.
Since there arein a circle,
The inscribed angleintercepts this arc and therefore has one-half its degree measure, which is
Example Question #9 :Acute / Obtuse Triangles
Solve for:
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to. Therefore:
Example Question #1 :How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle
Refer to the above figure. Expressin terms of.
The measure of an interior angle of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees minus that of its adjacent exterior angle, so
and
.
The sum of the degree measures of the three interior angles is 180, so
Example Question #2 :How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle
In the above figure,.
Give the measure of.
and一对线性形式,所以他们总程度措施; consequently,
, so by the Isosceles Triangle Theorem,
The sum of the degree measures of a triangle is, so
Example Question #1 :How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle
Figure NOT drawn to scale.
Refer to the above figure. Evaluate.
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle, which here is, is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles, which here areand. Consequently,
andform a linear pair and, therefore,
