Explain how you know that the triangle formed is BOTH right & isoceles?
It's a right isosceles triangle
u measure
How do I measure
Is this the answer??
I know that the triangle formed is both right and isosceles because There will be a 90 degree angle and two 45 degree angles.
To determine whether a triangle is both right and isosceles, we need to apply the properties and criteria for both types of triangles.
1. To prove that a triangle is right, we need to show that one of its angles is a right angle, which measures exactly 90 degrees.
To do this:
- Measure all three angles of the triangle using a protractor.
- If one angle measures exactly 90 degrees, then we have a right angle.
- If no angle measures exactly 90 degrees, then the triangle is not right.
2. To prove that a triangle is isosceles, we need to show that two of its sides are equal in length.
To do this:
- Measure the lengths of all three sides of the triangle using a ruler.
- Identify two sides that have the same measurement.
- If two sides have equal length, then the triangle is isosceles.
- If all three sides have different lengths, then the triangle is not isosceles.
If we find that both conditions are met (that one angle measures 90 degrees and two sides have equal length), then we can conclude that the triangle is both right and isosceles.
