Susan is drawing a triangle. The first segment she draws is 6 centimeters in length, and the second segment is 8 centimeters lon
1 answer:
Answer:
B) less than 14 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of 1 segment of triangle = 6 cm
Length of the 2 segment of the triangle = 8 cm
Angle between those 2 segments = 80°
We need to find the length of the 3 segment of the triangle.
Solution:
Now we know that;
By Triangle Inequality theorem which states that;
"The sum of the two side of the triangle must be greater than the third side of the triangle."
i.e The length of the third side should be lest than the sum of the other two sides.
Length of the third side
Length of the third side
Hence The length of the third side should be less than 14 cm.

The ex- suffix often correlates a word to mean "outside", while the in- suffix often correlates a word to mean "inside". An exterior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle outside of a polygon". An interior angle of a polygon would mean "an angle inside of a polygon". Three exterior angles of this polygon would be angle B, angle D, and angle A. This is because these angles are outside of the polygon due to the extending lines from the shape. Two interior angles of this polygon would be angle 6 and angle 8 (explanation was given when I first began answering this question). Angle 9 would be exterior since it is outside of the polygon. Two exterior angles of the polygon that are congruent are angle D and angle 9, since they are both 90 degrees (right angles).
