Sasha says that she drew an acute isosceles triangle with side lengths of 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm and angles of 30°, 50°, and 100°. Danielle says that is not possible. Explain, using sides and angles, who is correct. make it sound like a 10 year old made it
Well, let's see, an acute isosceles triangle means that it has two equal angles that are less than 90 degrees. Sasha says she drew one with side lengths of 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm but those lengths don't match. The sides of an isosceles triangle need to have the same length and in this case, they're different. So, Danielle is correct, it's not possible to have an acute isosceles triangle with those measurements.
