Answer to Problem 16ASNE
N
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A
Calculation:
Since the two sides are equal ( x ), so the triangle is isosceles , and the base
So, the two base angles cannot be obtuse , if obtuse , then their sum will become more than
So, the base angles will be acute.
Now , the third side , base , if greater than the other two sides , then the opposite angle, vertex, will be more than the base angles, but the third side is x − 1 , which is smaller than the other two sides, so the vertex angle will be less than the other two angles.
Hence ,all the three angles of the triangle will be acute.
So, the given statement can be filled as :
A triangle with sides of length x − 1 , x , and x is never an obtuse triangle.
