It can' be 11/12 because 5/6 nearly equals a whole number. Even when you add 1/3, the sum will be greater than one. The correct sum to 5/6 and 2/3 is 9/6, or reduced to 1 1/2.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

There are 4 triangles. For the exterior and remote interior, I’m naming the angles with three letters. If your teacher just wants one, it would be the middle one. (I assume they’ll want all three, since the letters just name points, not angles.)

1) A) Name of triangle: ABO

B) Exterior AngleS: EAO, BOC and AOD

C) Remote Interior Angles: For EAO, it’s ABO and AOB. For BOC, it’s BAO and ABO. For AOD, it’s BAO and ABO

2) A) Name of triangle: ABC

B) Exterior Angles:EAC

C) Remote Interior Angles: ABO and BCO

3) A) Name of triangle: DOC

B) Exterior Angles: ODH, DOA, COB, and OCG

C) Remote Interior Angles: For ODH, it’s DOC and COD. For DOA, it’s ODC and DCO. For COB, it’s ODC and DCO. For OCG, it has CDO and DOC

4) A) Name Of triangle: COB

B) Exterior Angles: AOB, DOC, and OBF

C) Remote Interior Angles: For AOB, it’s OBC and OCB. For DOC, it’s OBC and OCB. For OBF, it’s BOC and OCB

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A) Name of triangle: ABO

B) Exterior AngleS: EAO, BOC and AOD

C) Remote Interior Angles: For EAO, it’s ABO and AOB. For BOC, it’s BAO and ABO. For AOD, it’s BAO and ABO

Without measuring, how can you determine whether two sides of a polygon are congruent?

Alinara [238K]

Ow... this geometry is sure hard!!
.
Wait a second. Nope.
.
TWO SIDES!!
.
ITT!!
.
CONVERSE ITT!!
.
Converse Isosceles Triangle Theorem!
.
Look at the picture I attached.
.
Two angles equal... THE SIDES ADJACENT TO IT EQUAL!!
.
PERFECTO!!
.
Hope I helped!!
