A rule that is accepted true without proof

A rule or a statement that is accepted without proof is a postulate.

Isosceles triangles may be obtuse or acute but never right

false

What is the greatest number of right angles that a triangle can contain

1 (APEX)

A triangle is formed by three lines. If the ends of two lines meet to form a right-angle (90 degrees), the third line can only form angles less than 90 degrees.

90 + 45 + 45 = 180 the three angles must total 180 degrees.

Are some isosceles triangles equilateral triangles

Yep. All equilateral triangles are isosceles triangles.

True or false A corollary is a statement that can be easily proved using a theorem

For Apex the answer is “True“.

To begin an indirect proof you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true

false

The lengths of 2 sides of an isosceles triangle are 7 and 5 what are all the possible lengths of the third side

An isosceles triangle must have two sides of equal size.

Since you have a side of 7 and 5, for it to be isosceles, your third side must be either 7 or 5.

Can an isoceles triangle ever be scalene

No. An isosceles triangle has, by definition, two sides of equal length. A scalene triangle has, by definition, no sides of equal length. So, by definition (and the fact that 0 is not 2), an isosceles triangle cannot be scalene.

Which term best describes a figure formed by three segments connecting tree noncollinear points

That figure is best described as a "triangle".

What is a triangle with at least two congurent sides

A triangle with two congruent sides is an isosceles triangle, and a triangle with three congruent sides is an equilateral triangle.

Is a triangle obtuse scalene or triangle

A triangle can be Acute, Obtuse, or Right, depending on the angle. It can be Scalene, Isosceles, or Equilateral, depending on the length of the sides.

Complete this sentence after a congruence transformation the area of a triangle would be it was before

This sentence can be complete as: After a congruence transformation the area of a triangle would be the same as it was before.

Which is a true statement about a exterior angle of a triangle

180 degrees minus interior angle = exterior angle and that the 3 exterior angles of a triangle add up to 360 degrees.

Which term best describes a mathematical statement of the form shown below if athen b

A conditional statement.

Which sentence is most clearly about the relationship between a poems setting and mood

i honestly dont know

True or false A corollary is a statement that can be easily proved using a theorem.

FALSE

The segments shown below could form a triangle

No, it could not. A triangle cannot have a perimeter of length zero.

A triangle has sides measuring 8 inches and 12 inches. If x represents the length in inches of the third side which inequality gives the range of possible values for x

4 < x < 20
