Question

ristina and Lamar use a ruler and protractor to draw triangles with given conditions. Part A Cristina is asked to construct a triangle with a 45° angle and a 65° angle. How many different triangles could she draw with these conditions? A any number of triangles B exactly two triangles C exactly one triangle D no triangle Part B Lamar is asked to construct a triangle with two angles measuring 45° and 65°, with the side length between those angles 4 centimeters long. How many different triangles could he draw with these conditions? A any number of triangles B exactly two triangles C exactly one triangle D no triangle

Answer 1

Answer:The sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In this problem we have a triangle with a 45 degree angle and a 65 degree angle

so

The measure of the third side must be equal to

The triangle is a 45°-65°-70°

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

In this problem

I can have as many triangles whose internal angles are congruent and their sides are proportional

therefore

More than one triangle can be drawn with these conditions
