1. B. Obtuse - The longest side of the triangle is the one with a length of 47 inches, which makes it opposite the largest angle. Since the largest angle in a triangle determines the type of triangle, and the largest angle in this case is greater than 90 degrees, the triangle is obtuse.
2. A. 13 inches - Since the hypotenuse of the resulting triangles is 26 inches long, and the triangles are right triangles, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side length. Taking the square root of (26^2)/2 will give us the side length, which is approximately equal to 13 inches.
3. C. 16+64 √3 - In a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the side lengths is 1:√3:2. So, if the hypotenuse is 16, then the shorter leg is 16/2 = 8, and the longer leg is 8√3. The perimeter of the triangle would be 16 + 8 + 8√3 = 24 + 8√3.
4. The triangle is right - This is a well-known right triangle called a Pythagorean Triple. The side lengths 6, 8, and 10 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem (6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2), which means that the triangle is a right triangle.
1. To determine if a triangle is acute, obtuse, or right, we need to examine its angles. In a right triangle, one angle measures exactly 90 degrees. In an acute triangle, all three angles are less than 90 degrees. In an obtuse triangle, one angle is greater than 90 degrees.
To find the type of triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. If the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side, the triangle is right. If the sum is less than the square of the longest side, the triangle is acute. If the sum is greater than the square of the longest side, the triangle is obtuse.
In the given triangle with side lengths 34 in, 20 in, and 47 in, we can compare the squares of the sides:
34^2 + 20^2 = 1156 + 400 = 1556
47^2 = 2209
Since 1556 is less than 2209, the triangle is acute. Therefore, the correct answer is c. Acute.
2. To find the side length of each triangular quilt piece, given the length of the hypotenuse (26 inches), we can use the Pythagorean theorem. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let the side length of each piece be x. Then, we have:
x^2 + x^2 = 26^2
2x^2 = 676
x^2 = 338
x ≈ √338 ≈ 18.38 inches
Therefore, the side length of each piece is approximately 18.38 inches. None of the given answer choices match this result.
3. In a 30-60-90 degree triangle, the side lengths are in a ratio of 1:√3:2. Given that the hypotenuse of the triangle is 16, we can determine the lengths of the other two sides.
Using the ratio, the shorter side is 1/2 * 16 = 8 and the longer side is 8√3. The perimeter is the sum of all three sides: 8 + 16 + 8√3.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. 16+64√3.
4. To determine if a triangle is right, we can compare the squares of the sides using the Pythagorean theorem. If the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side, the triangle is right.
In the given triangle with side lengths 6, 8, and 10, we can compare the squares of the sides:
6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100
10^2 = 100
Since 100 is equal to 100, the triangle is right. Therefore, the answer is "The triangle is right."
#1 ok
#2 the sides are 26/√2 = 13√2
If the sides of a square are 1, the diagonal is not 2.
#2 In such a triangle, the sides are 1,√3,2
Now multiply everything by 8. (c) is wrong.
