Construct an isosceles triangle with one 70* angle and two 4 inch sides. Is this a unique triangle? Explain why or why not.

Respuesta :

The isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides of 4 inches and a vertex angle measure of 70 degrees, and it is a unique triangle

How to determine if the triangle is unique?

The given parameters are:

Triangle type = Isosceles triangle

Side length = 4 inches

Angle measure = 70 degrees

Since the triangle is an isosceles triangle, then the equal angles would be:

Ф = 180 - 2 * 70

Ф = 40

The length (L) of the third side is:

L/2 = 7 * cos(40)

Multiply both sides by 2

L = 14 * cos(40)

L = 10.7

So, the angles in the triangle are 70 and 40 degrees; while the side lengths are 4 and 10.7 inches
