Question

Construct a triangle XYZ with XY =8cm, Angle X =60° and angle z =40°. Measure XY and YZ.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start of with the line XY = 8 cm.

Draw a straight line with the length of 8cm.

Label one side of the line X and the other Y.

On the side labeled X, measure 60° and connect point X and the 60°.

You know that 60 + 40 = 100 and there are 180° in a triangle so 180 - 100 gives you 80°.

Since you don’t know the length of XZ you now know the angle of Y which is 80°.

Measure 80° and connect the two lines together.

Check to make sure the new created angle is 40° and label it Z then measure the length of the lines.
