When I divide a large right triangle into two small right triangles will the hypothenuses of the two small triangles equal the hypothenuse of the large triangle?
No but the sum of the squared sides will equal the square of the hypotenuse using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle
What would a diagram look like that represents the statement If it is an equilateral triangle then it is isosceles?
Figure B. equilateral triangle (small circle) inside of isosceles triangle (big cirlce)
How do you make an isosceles trapezoid with 6 tangram pieces?
Place the two large triangles next to each other so that their hypotenuses together make the long parallel side of the trapezoid. Place the medium triangle between the two large triangles with its hypotenuse along the edge of one of the large triangles. Place one of the small triangles between the medium triangle and the other large triangle with its hypotenuse along the edge of the medium triangle Place the square between the large triangle and the small triangle so that its edges are along side the small triangle and the large triangle. Finally place the parallelogram between the square and the medium triangle (toughing both) to finish the isosceles trapezoid. The seventh piece,. the final small triangle, which is not used, can be placed on top of the parallelogram (with its hypotenuse touching) to create a large triangle,. An Isosceles trapezoid can also be formed from all 7 pieces - take the large square formed by all the pieces except the two large triangles (as above if the large triangle is completed), and put the two large triangles on opposite sides to complete the isosceles trapezoid.
What is an example of a scale factor?
If a big triangle has a base length of 6, and a small triangle has a corresponding base length of 3, the scale factor from large to small is 2/1 (or 2). The scale factor from small to large would be 1/2.
What is a real life example of an acute angle?
A right angle triangle always has 2 acute angles within it.
