Why is a set square called a set square even though it is a triangle?
A set square is known as a set square and not triangle because when you divide 180 by 4, then you get 45. Now, if you construct a square with side: 45 degrees and then divide it in half, then you get the measurement 45-45-90.
Why are there only words used for the numbers 2 and 3 squared and cubed?
If you take the "square" of a number, it is like drawing a square with that number as a distance. When you "cube" a number, it is like taking that distance and drawing first a square, and then a vertical square above it; a cube. We do not have any words in English to describe 4- or 5-dimensional surfaces, so there is no special word to describe those power functions. The number 4^4 is described as "four to the fourth power". also to describe the expression of the algebraic equation.
What are the three secondary parts of a triangle?
The three secondary parts of a triangle are typically associated with one word. They are commonly called the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle.
Which tri word means a shape with three sides?
A triangle.
Is every Isosceles Triangle an equilateral triangle?
NO but every Equilateral triangle is an Isosceles triangle. That is the difference . Isosceles triangles have only 2 sides the same length. Equilateral have ALL 3 sides the same length which means that they must have 2 sides the same length, so they are a very special case of an Isosceles triangle. That is why they have a special name - Equilateral meaning 'all sides equal'. The word lateral is a reference to the word length.
