1) Tanya is buying edging for a triangular flower garden she plans to build in her backyard. If the lengths of the three pieces of edging that she purchases are 13 feet, 10 feet, and 7 feet, will the flower garden be in the shape of a right triangle ?

• In a right triangle, the two sides adjacent to the

right angle are known as the , or

and .

• The side opposite from the right angle

is called the , or .

• The hypotenuse is always the side of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Flower Garden is not in the shape of a right Δ

Step-by-step explanation:

~ To prove that this garden is in the shape of a right triangle, it can be done so through contradiction ~

Pythagorean Theorem is applied to a right triangle, so we can say that the two legs are 10 and 7 feet, the hypotenuse being 13, knowing it is the longest side;

a^2 + b^2 = c^2,

10^2 + 7^2 = 13^2,

100 + 49 = 169,

149 ≠ 169,

So the Flower Garden will not be in the shape of a right Δ

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

here is a big fat
