Question

Thomas draws a triangle with side lengths of 5 centimeters and 12 centimeters and 1 angle of 90°.The length of the longest side of the Triangle isnot know how many different triangles can be drawn with these dimensions Explain why

Answer 1

In a right triangle the longest side of the triangle, which is known as hypotenuse, is always opposite to the right angle. With this information we deduce that the unknown longest side always is going to be in the same place. It means only a triangle can be drawn with these dimensions.
