Question

Andre and Noah each drew a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm and 3 cm and an angle that

measures 60 degrees, and then they showed each other their drawings.

Andre's triangle

Noah's triangle


1.Explain what Andre and Noah would have to do to draw another triangle that is

different from what either of them has already drawn.

Answer 1

Answer: place the 60° angle between different sides of the triangle.

Explanation:

Given the side lengths of 5cm and 3cm

With the angle being 60°.

In other, for Noah and Andre to draw another triangle different from what either of them has drawn already, All they have to do is to change where the 60° angle resides between each side of the triangle. This is possible since :

1. Both Noah and Andre have already seen each other's previous triangle

2. The angle can be between any of the sides as the position of the angle isn't specified
