If the length of AB=12, what is the length of AP?
1 answer:
Answer:
AP= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question: If the length of AB=12, what is the length of AP? picture attached.
Given: AB= 12
∠APB= 60°
Remember; sum of all angle of triangle is equal to 180°.
We can look at picture, where two side of triangle is radius of circle.
∴ Angle of two side will also be same for the isosceles triangle.
Lets assume the unknow angle of the triangle be "x".
Now,
⇒ 2x+60= 180
subtracting both side by 60
⇒
∴
As now we have all the angle of triangle is 60° (equilateral triangle)
∴ All the side will be same, which is 12
Hence, AP= 12.

In every triangle, the largest side, is opposite the largest angle.
Also, the smallest side, is opposite the smallest angle.
a.
so 
,
because RQ is opposite angle P, the largest,
PR is opposite angle Q , the middle
and PQ is opposite angle R, the smallest.
Greatest side: RQ
b. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is 180°,
so
thus, m(C) is the largest angle. This means the largest side is the side AB.
Answers:
