What three pieces of information are needed to construct a triangle using the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) method?
Show answer
Two side lengths and the angle between them.
What three pieces of information are needed to construct a triangle using the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) method?
Show answer
Two angles and the side between them (the base).
What three pieces of information are needed to construct a triangle using the SSS (Side-Side-Side) method?
Show answer
All three side lengths.
A triangle with all three sides equal is called an ? triangle.
Show answer
equilateral
A triangle with two equal sides is called an ? triangle.
Show answer
isosceles
How many different isosceles triangles can be constructed with a given single angle measure?
Show answer
Two different triangles, because the given angle can be either the vertex angle or one of the base angles.
When using a scale drawing where 1cm = 200m, what length in cm represents 1km?
Show answer
5cm (because 1km = 1000m, and 1000m ÷ 200m/cm = 5cm).
What geometric shape is formed by two radii of equal length and the arc between them?
Show answer
A sector (of a circle).
