Question

Alex drew the triangles shown. Which of the following correctly describes the triangles? (1 point) Responses Both triangles are isosceles. Both triangles are isosceles. Only one triangle has a right angle. Only one triangle has a right angle. Only one triangle has an acute angle. Only one triangle has an acute angle. Both triangles have an obtuse angle. Both triangles have an obtuse angle.

Answer 1

To determine the correct description of the triangles Alex drew, we need to consider their properties based on the provided options.

1. Both triangles are isosceles. - This means that each triangle has at least two sides of equal length. If both of Alex's triangles meet this criterion, then this statement is true.

2. Only one triangle has a right angle. - This means that among the two triangles, only one has a 90-degree angle. If this is the case, then this statement would be true.

3. Only one triangle has an acute angle. - An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90 degrees. If one of the triangles has at least one acute angle and the other does not, this statement would hold.

4. Both triangles have an obtuse angle. - An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. If both triangles possess an obtuse angle, then this would be accurate.

To choose the correct option, we need to verify the properties of the triangles. If you can share the details of the triangles (like side lengths or angle measures), I can help identify the correct statement. Without that information, I can't conclude definitively which description is correct.
