Kevin drew a triangle with angle measures of 30 and 40 degrees and side measures of 5, 7, and 8 centimeters. Explain in 2 to 3 sentences, using sides and angles, which type of triangle Kevin drew
Based on the given side measures and angle measures, Kevin has drawn a scalene triangle. A scalene triangle is a type of triangle where all three sides have different lengths and all three angles have different measures.
Since the sides are all of different lengths, the triangle is scalene. But the angles are all wrong, since you would need
5/sin30° = 7/sin40°
which is clearly false.
