To determine if Sasha's claims about the triangle are possible, we can analyze the sides and angles she provided.
Sasha said she drew an acute isosceles triangle with the following sides:
- 6 cm
- 9 cm
- 12 cm
However, to determine triangle validity, we need to analyze the sides:
1. **Isosceles Triangle**: An isosceles triangle has at least two sides that are equal in length. In the lengths provided (6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm), none of these sides are equal. Thus, it cannot be classified as isosceles.
2. **Acute Triangle**: An acute triangle has all angles measuring less than 90 degrees. Sasha claims her triangle has angles of 30 degrees, 50 degrees, and 100 degrees. The angle of 100 degrees means that one angle is greater than 90 degrees, which makes the triangle obtuse, not acute.
Additionally, we can check the sides against the triangle inequality theorem, which states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side:
- For sides 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm:
- \(6 + 9 > 12\) → \(15 > 12\) (true)
- \(6 + 12 > 9\) → \(18 > 9\) (true)
- \(9 + 12 > 6\) → \(21 > 6\) (true)
The sides satisfy the triangle inequality. However, since none of them are equal, and not all angles are acute, Sasha's claims about the triangle being acute and isosceles are not possible.
Thus, the triangle cannot meet the criteria Sasha provided.
