NOT NECESSARILY would a triangle be equilateral if one of its angles is 60 degrees. To be an equilateral triangle (a triangle in which all 3 sides have the same length), all 3 angles of the triangle would have to be 60°-angles; however, the triangle could be a 30°-60°-90° right triangle in which the side opposite the 30 degree angle is one-half as long as the hypotenuse, and the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle is √3/2 as long as the hypotenuse. Another of possibly many examples would be a triangle with angles of 60°, 40°, and 80° which has opposite sides of lengths 2, 1.4845 (rounded to 4 decimal places), and 2.2743 (rounded to 4 decimal places), respectively, the last two of which were determined by using the Law of Sines: "In any triangle ABC, having sides of length a, b, and c, the following relationships are true: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C."¹

Answer:
21/4 or 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Γ = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² - 8x + Γ
with a = 1, b = - 8 and c = Γ , then
sum of zeros α + β = - 
= - 
= 8
product of zeros = αβ = 
= Γ
Given α - β = 2 , then
(α - β)² = 2²
α² - 2αβ + β² = 4 → (1)
and
(α + β)² = 8²
α² + 2αβ + β² = 64 → (2)
Add (1) and (2) term by term
2α² + 2β² = 68 ( divide through by 2 )
α² +β² = 34
Substitute α² + β² = 34 into (1)
34 - 2αβ = 4 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
- 2αβ = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
αβ = 15
Now
αβ = Γ = 15
Thus
f(x) = x² - 8x + 15
