Answer

alter to create problem that will result

How do you solve two
in isolation of desired variable. then
simultaneous equations? find
compute; (10)6x-1/2y=29 60x-5y=290
x 2x+ 5y= 20; 6x-1/2y=29
2x + 5y = 20 62x=310
the measure of degrees
along a straight line is how
many degrees?

a straight line measures 180deg.

the sum of all angles formed >The sum of all angles when two lines
when 2 lines intersect = how intersect = 360. >opposite angles are
many degrees?
equal to eachother

what angle is formed by two two perpendicular lines form a right

what kind of triangle has
three angles of 60 degrees?

an equal lateral triangle has three

angles of 60 degrees.

how do you make a right

angle out of an equal lateral draw line through the middle
triangle?
What kind of triangle is
an Isosceles triangle has two equal

sides and the angles of those two sides
equal sides, and thus two
are equal.
equal angles?
> A of triangle = >>how
does this relate to
calculating the area of a
quadrilateral?

> A of Triangle = 1/2 x BH >> this

realates to the A of a square by the
fact that we only measure 1/2 the
base, if we took BH we would get the A
of a quadrilateral, which is 2x any
given triangle

a 3-4-5 Triangle is
characterized by what?

3-4-5 Triangle is proportional to a given

common multiple. thus: short side = 3,
long side = 4, Hypoteneuse = 5 the
actual length in any unit is not the key,
only the proportion of the sides in
relation to eachother.

if a triangle has the following

a triangle with the measurements of
measurements: s1=15,
15, 20, 25 is a 3-4-5 Triangle.
s2=20, s3=25 what type of
(3x5)=15,(4x5)=20,(5x5)=25
triangle is it?
a 5-12-13 Triangle is
characterized by what?

A triangle who's side lengths
are s1=5,
Hypoteneuse=10,... a) What
is the L of s2? b,c) What kind
of Triangle do we have?
What kind of Triangle is it? b)
What are the internal
angles?

Where there is a triangle w/ s1=5,

Hypoteneuse=10 a) s2= 5^sq rt (3)
b,c) The degree measurements of
s1=30, s2= 60, Hypoteneuse=90 Thus,
