Why is not possible to make an equilateral triangle on a geoboard?
because it has angles so you can't make a triangle
Different types of triangles can be created by combining 2 what terms scalene isosceles equilateral acute obtuse and right. What combination of these terms will not form triangles?
An equilateral triangle has to be acute. All the sides are the same size, and all the angles are the same size. You can't have three 90 degree angles in a triangle or three angles that are more than 90 degrees in a triangle. Therefore the angles have to be acute. An isosceles triangle will have two angles at are the same size. You can't have two 90 degree angles or two angles over 90 degrees in a triangle, but the triangle only has to have one of those angles to be either right or obtuse. The right or obtuse angle must be between the two sides that are equal and the two angles that are equal have to be acute. So then an isosceles triangle can be any of the three - acute, obtuse, or right. A scalene triangle has three unequal sides. Therefore, the angles will all be unequal. Can you think of any three angles that are all less than 90 degrees that will add up to 180 degrees? (acute?) What about any two angles (not equal) that will add to another 90 degree angle to make 180 degrees? (right?) What about any two angles (not equal) that will add to another angle larger than 90 degree to make 180 degrees? (obtuse?) Therefore there are 7 possible combinations.
Can angles with 40 90 and 50 degrees be an equilateral triangle?
Oh, what a happy little question! Unfortunately, those angles wouldn't make an equilateral triangle, but don't worry, mistakes are just happy accidents in the world of geometry. You'll find the right angles to create a beautiful equilateral triangle with all sides and angles equal in no time. Just keep on painting and exploring, my friend.
How do you make an angle without using compass and protractor?
By drawing regular polygons as for instance a square will have 4 equal right angles and an equilateral triangle will have 3 equal 60 degree angles.
Does the angles 40 degrees 60 degrees and 80 degrees make a triangle?
Oh, dude, you're throwing some shapes at me! So, like, to make a triangle, the sum of the angles has to be 180 degrees. If you add up 40, 60, and 80, you get 180, so yeah, those angles totally make a triangle. Math can be a real mind-bender, man!
