  1. practice: using visual cues

give one reason why each figure below is not a triangle.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Triangle Basics

Triangles are 2 - dimensional closed figures. They are formed by 3 line segments connecting 3 non - collinear points. A triangle has 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices. Each side is included between 2 angles and is opposite 1 angle. Each angle is included between 2 sides and is opposite 1 side.

Step2: Fill in the Blanks

  • "They are closed \(\boldsymbol{2}\) - dimensional figures." (Since triangles are planar, 2 - D)
  • "They are formed by \(\boldsymbol{3}\) segments that connect \(\boldsymbol{3}\) noncollinear points." (By definition of a triangle)
  • "They have exactly \(\boldsymbol{3}\) sides, \(\boldsymbol{3}\) angles, and \(\boldsymbol{3}\) vertices." (Basic properties of a triangle)
  • "Each side is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) angles and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) angle." (For example, in \(\triangle ABC\), side \(BC\) is between \(\angle B\) and \(\angle C\), and opposite \(\angle A\))
  • "Each angle is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) sides and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) side." (In \(\triangle ABC\), \(\angle A\) is between \(AB\) and \(AC\), and opposite \(BC\))

For the angle inclusion questions (first three bullet points, assuming the triangle is \(\triangle ABC\)):

  • Angle \(\angle A\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(AC\).
  • Angle \(\angle B\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(BC\).
  • Angle \(\angle C\) is included between sides \(AC\) and \(BC\).

For naming the triangle (question 5, triangle \(DEF\) with right angle at \(F\)):
Possible names: \(\triangle DEF\), \(\triangle DFE\), \(\triangle EDF\), \(\triangle EFD\), \(\triangle FDE\), \(\triangle FED\), and also by its type (right - angled triangle at \(F\), so right triangle \(DEF\) or right triangle \(DFE\) etc.)

For question 7 (figures not shown, but common reasons a figure is not a triangle: not closed, less than 3 sides, sides not straight, points collinear etc.)

Answer:

For the "REVIEW: Triangle Facts" blanks:
  • They are closed \(\boldsymbol{2}\) - dimensional figures.
  • They are formed by \(\boldsymbol{3}\) segments that connect \(\boldsymbol{3}\) noncollinear points.
  • They have exactly \(\boldsymbol{3}\) sides, \(\boldsymbol{3}\) angles, and \(\boldsymbol{3}\) vertices.
  • Each side is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) angles and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) angle.
  • Each angle is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) sides and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) side.
For the angle inclusion (assuming triangle \(ABC\)):
  • Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle A}\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(AC\).
  • Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle B}\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(BC\).
  • Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle C}\) is included between sides \(AC\) and \(BC\).
For naming triangle \(DEF\) (right - angled at \(F\)):

Possible names: \(\triangle DEF\), \(\triangle DFE\), \(\triangle EDF\), \(\triangle EFD\), \(\triangle FDE\), \(\triangle FED\), Right - angled triangle \(DEF\) (at \(F\)), etc.

For question 7 (example reason for a non - triangle figure, e.g., if a figure has 4 sides, reason: "The figure has more than 3 sides" or "The points are collinear" or "The figure is not closed")
