Question

The angle measures of a triangle are (6x + 6)°, (8x - 8)°, and (12x)°. The triangle can be classified as?

Answer 1

Acute triangle

Explanation:

If you add up are those angle equations, set it equal to 0, 26x - 2 = 180, you get x = 7/ Plug that back into each equation, and you realize none of the angles are more than 90. This makes it an acute triangle.

Answer 2

Isosceles

Explanation:

Isosceles: but you don't know that until you solve the following equation 6x+6 + 8x-8 + 12x

26x - 2 = 180

26x = 182

x = 182/26

x = 7

However, in the interests of proof, solving this equation

6x + 6 (48)

8x - 8 (48)

12x (84)

Area all different. The values are given
