Exercise #12

In a right triangle, the two sides that form a right angle are called...?

Step-by-Step Solution

In a right triangle, there are specific terms for the sides. The two sides that form the right angle are referred to as the legs of the triangle. To differentiate, the side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, which is distinct due to being the longest side. Hence, in response to the problem, the sides forming the right angle are correctly identified as Legs.

Answer

Legs

Exercise #13

In a right triangle, the side opposite the right angle is called....?

Step-by-Step Solution

The problem requires us to identify the side of a right triangle that is opposite to its right angle.
In right triangles, one of the most crucial elements to recognize is the presence of a right angle (90 degrees).
The side that is directly across or opposite the right angle is known as the hypotenuse. It is also the longest side of a right triangle.
Therefore, when asked for the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle, the correct term is the hypotenuse.

Selection from the given choices corroborates our analysis:

  • Choice 1: Leg - In the context of right triangles, the "legs" are the two sides that form the right angle, not the side opposite to it.
  • Choice 2: Hypotenuse - This is the correct identification for the side opposite the right angle.

Therefore, the correct answer is Hypotenuse \text{Hypotenuse} .

Answer

Hypotenuse

Exercise #14

Fill in the blanks:

In an isosceles triangle, the angle between two ___ is called the "___ angle".

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to solve this problem, we need to understand the basic properties of an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal in length, often referred to as the "legs" of the triangle. The angle formed between these two equal sides, which are sometimes referred to as the "sides", is called the "vertex angle" or sometimes more colloquially as the "main angle".

When considering the vocabulary of the given multiple-choice answers, choice 2: sides,mainsides, main accurately fills the blanks, as the angle formed between the two equal sides can indeed be referred to as the "main angle".

Therefore, the correct answer to the problem is: sides,mainsides, main.

Answer

sides, main

Exercise #15

In an isosceles triangle, the angle between ? and ? is the "base angle".

Step-by-Step Solution

An isosceles triangle is one that has at least two sides of equal length. The angles opposite these two sides are known as the "base angles."
The side that is not equal to the other two is referred to as the "base" of the triangle. Thus, the "base angles" are the angles between each of the sides that are equal in length and the base.
Therefore, when we specify the angle in terms of its location or position, it is the angle between a "side" and the "base." This leads to the conclusion that the angle between the side and the base is the "base angle."

Therefore, the correct choice is Side, base.

Answer

Side, base.

Exercise #16

In an isosceles triangle, the third side is called?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand what an isosceles triangle is and how its sides are labeled:

  • In an isosceles triangle, there are two sides that have equal lengths. These are typically called the "legs" of the triangle.
  • The third side, which is not necessarily of equal length to the other two sides, is known as the "base."

In terms of the problem, we want to determine the term used for the third side, which is the side that is not one of the two equal sides.

The correct term for the third side in an isosceles triangle is the "base." This is because the third side serves as a different function compared to the equal sides, which usually form the symmetrical parts of the triangle.

Among the given answer choices, choosing "Base" correctly identifies the third side of an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, the third side in an isosceles triangle is called the base.

Final Solution: Base

Answer

Base

Exercise #17

In an isosceles triangle, what are each of the two equal sides called ?

Step-by-Step Solution

In an isosceles triangle, there are three sides: two sides of equal length and one distinct side. Our task is to identify what the equal sides are called.

To address this, let's review the basic properties of an isosceles triangle:

  • An isosceles triangle is defined as a triangle with at least two sides of equal length.
  • The side that is different in length from the other two is usually called the "base" of the triangle.
  • The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are referred to as the "legs."

Therefore, each of the two equal sides in an isosceles triangle is called a "leg."

In our problem, we confirm that the correct terminology for these two equal sides is indeed "legs," distinguishing them from the "base," which is the unequal side. This aligns with both the typical definitions and properties of an isosceles triangle.

Thus, the equal sides in an isosceles triangle are known as legs.

Answer

Legs

Exercise #18

Is the triangle in the drawing a right triangle?

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if the given triangle is a right triangle, we will analyze its geometrical properties. In a right triangle, one of its angles must be 9090^\circ. The easiest method to identify a right triangle without specific numerical coordinates is to check if any of the angles form a right angle just by visual assessment or conceptual understanding; this method can use the Pythagorean theorem in reverse if sides are measure-known.

In this setting, instead of physical measurements or accessible labeled SVG points, only the geometrical visual approach is taken. If based on generalized drawing inspections, assuming there is no visually postulated straight 90-degree form visible without a numerical validation, it's assumed to not initially exhibit such requirements when no arithmetic sides are comparatively used.

The lack of specific side lengths that conform to the Pythagorean theorem implies that, without other noticed forms or vectors increment constructs delivering a forced angle view, the triangle doesn't conform to being considered right.

Therefore, the triangle in the drawing is not a right triangle based on this lack of definitional evidence when view or vertex distinctions are ensured.

The correct answer to the problem is No.

Answer

No

Exercise #19

Is the triangle in the drawing a right triangle?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if the triangle given in the drawing is a right triangle, we would ideally look for the presence of a 9090^\circ angle or verify the side lengths meet the Pythagorean Theorem condition (a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2). However, as no explicit measurements for sides or angles are provided, the decision relies on visual inspection of the drawn figure.

Since no side lengths or angle measures are present to apply the Pythagorean Theorem or check for a right angle directly, we are left with the visual context. Typically, if the visual context were sufficiently obviously perpendicular or labeled as such, it would be noted. Given no such indication from the current problem setup and traditional instructional understanding, the depicted triangle cannot be conclusively determined to possess a right angle.

Hence, based on the information—or lack thereof—the triangle should not be considered a right triangle without explicit numerical or measurement evidence.

The answer to the question "Is the triangle in the drawing a right triangle?" is No.

Answer

No

Exercise #20

Is the triangle in the drawing a right triangle?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine if the given triangle is a right triangle, we will analyze its drawing:

  • The triangle is depicted with one side perfectly horizontal and another side perfectly vertical.
  • These two sides form an angle with a vertex placed where the horizontal and vertical sides meet.
  • The angle formed at this point must be 9090^\circ since the horizontal and vertical lines are by definition perpendicular to each other.
  • When a triangle has one angle equal to 9090^\circ, it confirms that the triangle is a right triangle.

Thus, based on the positioning of the triangle with respect to the horizontal and vertical axes, we can assert that the triangle is indeed a right triangle. This fulfills the condition required for the triangle to be classified as such.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is: Yes.

Answer

Yes
