Question

What general direction did Lin walk from the gym to his house, and what type of triangle did his walking path form? Lin walked south, creating a right triangle. Lin walked southwest, creating an obtuse triangle. Lin walked southeast, creating an acute triangle. Lin walked directly east, creating a right triangle.

Answer 1

The correct statement is ''Lin can walk southwest by creating an obtuse triangle to reach his house from the gym'' and it can be determined by using the properties of triangle.

We have to determine

What general direction did Lin walk from the gym to his house, and what type of triangle did his walking path form?

According to the question,

Types of Triangle;

1.  Lin walked south, creating a right triangle-

When someone walked in only one direction then a straight line is made by him over his path.

Here Lin can not make a right triangle just by walking in one direction.

Thus statement 1 is incorrect.

2. Lin walked southwest, creating an obtuse triangle.

When someone wants to reach a diagonal direction he can use either the right angle triangle path or the obtuse triangle.  

Lin can walk southwest by creating an obtuse triangle to reach his house from the gym.

Thus statement 2 is correct.

3. Lin walked southeast, creating an acute triangle.

Actuate triangle is a triangle in which all three angles are less than the right angles (90 degrees).

With walking in actuate triangle one can make Lin can not go in his diagonal direction.

Thus statement 3 is incorrect.  

4. Lin walked directly east, creating a right triangle.

When someone walked in only one direction then a straight line is made by him over his path.

Here Lin can not make a right triangle just by walking in one direction.

Thus statement 4 is incorrect.

Hence, Lin can walk southwest by creating an obtuse triangle to reach his house from the gym. Thus statement 2 is correct.
