Question

Tom assigns a measure of 91° to LA. He assigns a length of 3 cm to a, 4 cm to b, and 5 cmileCould this be a real triangle? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

we have the length sides

3,4 and 5

These measures correspond to a right triangle

because

satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

5^2=3^2+4^2

25=25

therefore

with those measures, the triangle cannot have an angle of 91 degrees

therefore

Is not a real triangle
