Triangle Angle Theorems

Question 3 • RMA FL-1206310-Geometry Semester 1

In triangle ABC, m∠BAC = 50°. If m∠ACB = 30°, then the triangle is triangle. If m∠ABC = 40°, then the triangle is triangle. If triangle ABC is isosceles, and AB = 6 and BC = 4, then AC = .

Answer
A
4
B
6
C
4 or 6

Explanation

When ∠ACB is 30°, the third angle is 180° − 50° − 30° = 100°, so the triangle is obtuse. If ∠ABC is 40°, the third angle is 180° − 50° − 40° = 90°, so the triangle is right. For an isosceles triangle, AC must match one of the other sides; since AB = 6 and BC = 4, AC can be 4 or 6, which is choice C.
