Question

AIRPLANES The path of an airplane can be modeled using two sides of a triangle as

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Obtuse Scalene Triangle. It has one angle that is greater than 90 degrees and have two equal sides so it's a obtuse scalene triangle.

b. A triangle interior add up to 180 degrees. We are given the upper angle which is 173. The other two angles must add to 180 but must be equal.

$x + y + z = 180$

$y = z$

$x + z + z = 180$

$x + 2z = 180$

x=173 so

$173 + 2z = 180$

$2z = 7$

$z = 3.5$

3.5 degrees.
