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
