What are the four types of angles based on their measurement?
Acute, right angle, obtuse and reflex.
What are four ways you can prove two right triangles are congruent?
1. The side angle side theorem, when used for right triangles is often called the leg leg theorem. it says if two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Now if you want to think of it as SAS, just remember both angles are right angles so you need only look at the legs.2. The next is the The Leg-Acute Angle Theorem which states if a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent. This is the same as angle side angle for a general triangle. Just use the right angle as one of the angles, the leg and then the acute angle.3. The Hypotenuse-Acute Angle Theorem is the third way to prove 2 right triangles are congruent. This one is equivalent to AAS or angle angle side. This theorem says if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent. This is the same as AAS again since you can use the right angle as the second angle in AAS.4. Last, but not least is Hypotenuse-Leg Postulate. Since it is NOT based on any other rules, this is a postulate and not a theorem. HL says if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What is subjective measurement?
A subjective measurement is something that is based on an opinion and is most often biased. The opposite would be an objective measurement which is quantifiable and based only on fact.
What are the kind of triangle?
Triangles can be classified based on their sides and angles. Based on sides, triangles can be equilateral (all sides are equal), isosceles (two sides are equal), or scalene (no sides are equal). Based on angles, triangles can be acute (all angles are less than 90 degrees), obtuse (one angle is greater than 90 degrees), or right (one angle is exactly 90 degrees).
Why is the angle of incidence greater than the angle of refraction based on the magic pencil activity?
The angle of incidence is greater.
