Will the side lengths of 2cm, 3cm, and 10 cm make a triangle?
No. The short sides will not add up to a total greater than the long side.
Is a triangle with angle measures of 20, 100, and 50 degrees possible?
No.
A triangle must equal 180 degrees total.
Complementary angles have a sum of ___ degrees and supplementary angles have a sum of ___ degrees.
90 and 180.
If angle 1 is 40 degrees, what is the measure of angle 2?
140 degrees.
Angle 1 and 2 are supplementary, meaning they have to add up to 180 degrees.
Will the side lengths of 5cm, 8cm, and 4cm make a triangle?
Yes. The short sides add up to a total greater than the long side.
A triangle has angle measures of 45 and 45 degrees.
What will the third angle equal?
90 degrees.
Are 35 and 125 degree angles complementary?
No. They do not add together to equal 90 degrees.
If angle 1 is 40 degrees, what is the measure of angle 4?
40 degrees.
Angle 1 and 4 are vertical angles, meaning they are congruent.
What is the interior angle sum of a quadrilateral?
360 degrees.
Are 40 and 50 degree angles complementary?
Yes. They add together to equal 90 degrees.
What is the angle sum of a polygon with 9 sides?
1260 degrees.
S = (n-2)*180
S = (9-2)*180
S = 7*180
S = 1260
Is a quadrilateral with angle measures of 100, 60, 40, and 80 degrees possible?
No.
The sum of all angles in a quadrilateral must equal 360 degrees.
Are 110 and 70 supplementary angles?
Yes. They add together to equal 180 degrees.
What is the angle sum of a polygon with 12 sides?
1800 degrees.
S = (n-2)*180
S = (12-2)*180
S = 10*180
S = 1800
A triangle has side lengths of 5 cm and 7 cm.
The measure of the longest side is missing.
What is the longest length this side could be?
11 cm.
Is a quadrilateral with degrees 60, 120, 60 and 120 possible?
Yes.
Quadrilaterals must equal 360 degrees.
What is the measure of the supplement to the angle of 25 degrees?
155 degrees.
Why do engineers use triangles so often when building strong structures?
Triangles are rigid shapes, meaning their angles cannot change. Only one triangle can be made using three side lengths, unlike other polygons.
