'''For an obtuse-angled triangle, the altitude is outside the triangle. For such triangles, the base is extended and then a perpendicular is drawn from the opposite vertex to the base. For an obtuse triangle, the altitude is shown in the triangle below.'''

Answer:

Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

When examining the shape of an obtuse triangle, due to it's wide nature, you will notice at least one of the side lengths will extend outward, which will create an altitude.

How do you find the scale factor of two triangles, 0.3 and 2.4?

bagirrra123 [75]

Divide the larger one by the smaller one. 2.4 divided by 0.3 gives you 8. That means the scale factor is 8, or the larger triangle is 8 times larger than the smaller. We can prove this by multiplying 0.3 by 8 and getting 2.4

Using the Addition Method, solve for x in the following system of linear equations.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2y + x = 4

we can assume that y = 2
if y - 3x = 2

it means 2 - 0 = 2

therefore x = 0
