4. Constructing Polygons
Sign In
Use a protractor to draw the given angle.
One, see solution.
We want to determine whether we can construct one, many, or no isosceles triangles with two side lengths of 4 inches that meet at an 80^(∘) angle. We can begin by drawing an angle of 80^(∘) using a protractor.
Now we can mark 4 inches on the other ray.
Finally, we can draw the missing side using a ruler.
Notice that there is only one way to draw the line segment between the endpoints of the given sides. This means that there is only triangle with the given description.
