Pregunta 23

A triangle has angles of 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 45 degrees. Select all the names that correctly describe this triangle.

  1. Right-angled, because one angle is exactly 90 degrees.Respuesta correcta
  2. Isosceles, because two angles match and so do two sides.Respuesta correcta
  3. Equilateral, because a right angle counts as a third equal angle.
  4. Scalene, because its three angles are not all the same.

Explicación

The 90 degree angle settles the angle axis, while the pair of 45 degree angles forces the two sides facing them to match, which settles the side axis as well, so two names apply together. Denying any equal sides here contradicts the equal angles, because matching angles always face matching sides.
