What kind of \r\n" ); document.write( "angle am I.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Solution--\r\n" ); document.write( "Since we know the measures of two of the angles, we can kind that measure of the third angle.\r\n" ); document.write( "Recall that the sum of the measures of the interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees.\r\n" ); document.write( "We have two 70 degree angles, so the third angle measures 40 degrees because \r\n" ); document.write( "70+70+40=180.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Notice that the two given side lengths are equal. We don't know the side length of the third.\r\n" ); document.write( "If the triangle has three equal sides it is an equilateral triangle. However an equilateral triangle \r\n" ); document.write( "has three equal angles, too. We already know that our triangle has only two equal angles.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Therefore this triangle is an isosceles triangle.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps!\r\n" ); document.write( "Mrs.Figgy\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
