Question

I need help on number 6 and 7 !!! please help!!!! it would be much appreciated

Answer 1

Answer:

6.) No, you do not agree with Ted.

7.) x = 34 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

6.) For a triangle to be valid, it must meet these requirements:

a+b>c

a+c>b

b+c>a

If it fails a single one, then it is invalid.

For example: 6+11 is not greater than 4. Therefor, Ted is incorrect

7.) Though you see a square, or rectangle (whatever you want to call it), you can break it up into 2 triangle, only 1 of which you need to solve for.

We have these clues:

angle 1 = x

angle 2 = 56 degrees

angle 3 is a right angle

Any triangle must have its angles sum to 180 degrees

We also know that right angles are equal to 90 degrees.

Our updated clues:

angle 1 = x

angle 2 = 56 degrees

angle 3 = 90 degrees

angles 1+2+3 must equal 180

So we can make this equation:

x+56+90=180

Add like terms and solve for x:

x = 34
