Question

5.) a) make a drawing to show the result of sharing the triangle and figure 12.72 into a right triangle. Explain how you know you have shear the triangle correctly. Hint: shearing does not have to be horizontal. b) During shearing, what changed and what remainder the same.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Shearing the triangle:

The area is base multiplied by height and divided by 2. In this question, the base is segment BC, which measures 2.

Now, we draw a perpendicular line to BC through point A.

When it finds C, we finish the line, then traces the other side in the same dimension as previous CB.

Now, we trace the hypotenuse, and have the right triangle. So
