Question

True or False: Categorize each fact about triangles.(5 points) True False The three angles in a triangle add up to 180°. The longest side of a triangle is called the hyppocampus. The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c². The longest side is across from the longest angle. The basic trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and cotangent.

Answer 1

Here’s the categorization of each fact about triangles:

1. The three angles in a triangle add up to 180°. - True
2. The longest side of a triangle is called the hyppocampus. - False (The correct term is "hypotenuse" for right triangles.)
3. The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c². - True
4. The longest side is across from the longest angle. - True
5. The basic trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and cotangent. - False (The basic trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, and tangent; cotangent is a derived function.)

So the final categorization is:

1. True
2. False
3. True
4. True
5. False
