To determine whether Sasha's claim about the triangle is correct, we need to analyze the properties of triangles, specifically isosceles triangles, acute triangles, and the relationships between sides and angles.
1. **Triangle Type**:
- An **isosceles triangle** has at least two sides that are the same length.
- An **acute triangle** has all angles less than 90 degrees.
2. **Given Sides**: Sasha claims the sides are 6 cm, 9 cm, and 12 cm.
- None of these sides are the same length, so this triangle cannot be isosceles. Thus, Sasha's triangle cannot be an acute isosceles triangle.
3. **Using the Triangle Inequality**:
- For three sides to form a triangle, they must satisfy the triangle inequality theorem: the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side.
- \( 6 + 9 > 12 \) (True, since \( 15 > 12 \))
- \( 6 + 12 > 9 \) (True, since \( 18 > 9 \))
- \( 9 + 12 > 6 \) (True, since \( 21 > 6 \))
- So these sides can form a triangle.
4. **Calculating the Angles**:
- The angles given are 30 degrees, 50 degrees, and 100 degrees. The sum of the angles in any triangle must equal 180 degrees.
- \( 30 + 50 + 100 = 180 \) (True)
- However, one angle is 100 degrees, which means the triangle is **not acute** because an acute triangle cannot have an angle of 90 degrees or more.
5. **Conclusion**:
- Sasha claimed it is an acute isosceles triangle, but given the side lengths (6 cm, 9 cm, 12 cm), it cannot be isosceles due to differing lengths, and it cannot be acute because of the presence of the obtuse angle (100 degrees).
Based on this analysis, it is clear that Sasha is incorrect in her claim about the triangle. The correct verdict is that the triangle is not an acute isosceles triangle, and thus, someone who says otherwise (like Sasha) is mistaken.
