1. How many triangles can be drawn with side lengths of 3 units,
4 units, and 5 units? Explain.
1; Sample answer: When given all three
side lengths of a triangle, only one triangle
can be drawn.

2. Draw a triangle with side lengths of 16 units and 30 units


and an included angle of 90°.
Sample drawing of the triangle shown.

included between the two
sides with given lengths.

5. Can a triangle be drawn with side lengths of 7.3 meters, 4.6 meters,
and 11 meters? Explain.
Yes, The sum of the two shortest side lengths is
greater than the longest side; 4.6 + 7.3 + 11

6. Danielle wants to construct different triangles with angle measures of


90°, 45°, and 45°, but she was only able to draw the triangle shown
at the right.
What mistake might Danielle have made?
Sample answer: She did not consider that the triangle
could be enlarged or reduced, while keeping the same
angle measures, to make a different triangle.

Assessment Practice
10. Which of the following describes possible methods that can be used to
construct a triangle given the lengths of two sides and the measure of
a nonincluded angle? Select all that apply.

Construct one side with a given length. Use this side to form an
angle with the given measure, then construct the opposite side
with the given length.
Construct one side with a given length. Use this side to form an angle
with the given measure, then extend the other side of the angle until
it has the same measure as the other given length and construct the
side opposite the angle.
Construct an angle with the given measure. Extend each side of the
angle until these sides have the same measure as the given lengths
and construct the side opposite the angle.
Construct an angle with the given measure. Extend one side of the
angle until it has the same measure as one of the given lengths and
draw the side opposite the angle with the given length.
Construct an angle with the given measure. Extend one side of the
angle until it has the same measure as one of the given lengths. At
the end of the extended side length, construct a side with a
90° angle that has the same length as the other given side length.
Then extend the other side with the included angle until
it forms a triangle.
