Answers to Les.2 HW: The Truth About Triangles

1) 75 degrees
2) 43 degrees
3) 67 degrees
4) 154 degrees
5) could
6) could not
7) could
could not
9) must be larger than 7 in. and smaller than 23 in.
10) must be larger than 26 cm and smaller than 68 cm
11) must be larger than 0.7 m and smaller than 4.9 m
12) must be larger than 4 ft and smaller than 24 ft
13) On your drawing, the “x” should be on the side opposite the 61 degree angle (because the largest side(s) of the triangle is the one(s) opposite the largest angle(s)
14) a. They are equal.
14) b. No they could not be right angles or obtuse angles because the sum of the angle measures of the triangle would be larger than 180 degrees.
15) a. The distance between the store and the bank is greater than 50 yards and less than 150 yards.
15) b. The distance between the library and the bank is greater than 50 yards.
15) c. Walking directly from the post office to the bank is shorter. The post office to store + store to bank is greater than the post office to bank. The inequality could look like this: PS + SB > PB.
16) Answers will vary. Possible answer: Although it is true than an angle measure of a triangle must be less than 180 degrees, a maximum angle does not exist. Given any angle measure less than 180 degrees, it is always possible to find another angle measure that is greater than the first and also less than 180 degrees.

The remainder of the class period can be used to complete missing work and work on your next PSI- make it your best one yet!
