Given three sets of numbers to represent side lengths, which of these will make a triangle? a. 2, 2, 5 b. 3, 5, 2 c. 5, 4, 2 Identifying Possible Triangles Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths? 1. 6, 7, 11 2. 3, 6, 9 3. 28, 34, 39 4. 35, 120, 125 Find Possible Side Lengths A triangle has one side of length 12 and another of length 8. Describe the possible lengths of the third side. Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given the lengths of the other two sides. 1. 5 inches, 12 inches 2. 3 meters, 4 meters 3. 12 feet, 7 yards 4. 2 feet, 40 inches
Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent. If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular. If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral. Determine the values of x, y and z. 5. 6. 7. 8.
4.3 Pythagorean Theorem Converse (Hypotenuse) 2 = (Leg 1) 2 + (Leg 2) 2 Pythagorean Theorem Solve for the value of x. Answers must be in simplified radical form. 1. x = 2. x = 3. x = Converse to the Pythagorean Theorem Given: a, b, and c are lengths of the sides of a triangle, where c is the longest side. If c 2 = a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is a triangle. If c 2 < a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is a triangle. If c 2 > a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is a triangle. What kind of triangle?? 7. 8. 9.
Putting it all together. First, decide whether the set of numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle. Then, if they can, classify the triangle as Right, Acute, or Obtuse. 10. 86, 38, 77 11. 5, 11, 6 12. 16.4, 20.5, 12.3 13. 10.5, 37.5, 36.5 4.4 Midsegment Theorem and Coordinate Proof Warm Up For the following points: A (0, 10), B (12, 0), and C (0, 0) 1.

Write a conjecture about a point on the perpendicular bisector.
Perpendicular Bisector Theorem A perpendicular bisector of a triangle is a segment to a side at its The is equidistant from the. *** Any point on the perpendicular bistector is to the endpoints. 1. BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC. 2. Is KH Find AD. the perpendicular bisector of RT? If so, find RT. An is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent adjacent angles. Use a protractor and straightedge to draw the angle bisector.
Angle Bisector Theorem A point is on the bisector of an angle if and only if it is from the two sides of the angles. e. Solve for x. 1. x = 2. x = Median & Altitude The of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The of a triangle is a segment from the vertex of a triangle drawn perpendicular to the opposite side.
