Given the measures of its angles, a triangle can be drawn using a protractor and straightedge. Using these tools, draw a triangle that has angle measures of 52°, 18°, and 110°. If it is possible to draw a triangle with these angle measures, include your drawing in your answer, making sure to label all measurements. In addition, (a) classify the triangle based on its sides and angles, and (b) explain whether the triangle you drew is unique or if more than one triangle with these angle measures is possible.

Answer:

1.angle combination is possible, given 52+18+110=180 degrees

. identify the triangle as an obtuse scalene triangle

. Draw your triangle with a protractor and use the measurements of the given angles 18, 52, and 110 degrees. Do this step yourself.

. Your triangle should not be unique s due to the three sides being there and the angles should be correct, otherwise it wouldn’t be unique it would be wrong.

2. I’m sure you’d figured this assignment out now.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

We are given three angles:
52°
18°
110°

To determine if these angles can be angles of a triangle, we simply add them and check if the sum is 180
So,
52 + 18 + 110 = 180
A triangle can be constructed using the three angles and this triangle would be scalene and obtuse
