Nathan drew an 8-centimeter line segment. With one of the endpoints of the line segment as the center, he then drew a circle with a radius of 3 centimeters. How many triangles can he create that have the 8-centimeter line segment as one side and a radius of the circle as another side?"
Nathan can create 2 triangles.
One triangle would have the 8-centimeter line segment and one radius of the circle as its sides, forming a right-angled triangle.
The other triangle would have the 8-centimeter line segment and the other radius of the circle as its sides, also forming a right-angled triangle.
Therefore, Nathan can create 2 triangles in total.
