Question

1. you are making a quilt that uses triangles. each of the triangular pieces has sides with lengths of 17 centimeters, 14 centimeters, and 14 centimeters. what kind of triangle are you using to make the quilt? 17. a baseball diamond can be split into two triangles. classify the triangles formed by their sides and angles.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle - type definitions

A triangle with two equal - length sides is an isosceles triangle.

Step2: Analyze the quilt triangle

The triangular pieces of the quilt have side lengths 17 cm, 14 cm, and 14 cm. Since two sides have the same length (14 cm), it is an isosceles triangle.

Step3: Analyze the baseball - diamond triangles

The sides of the triangles formed from the baseball diamond have side lengths 90 ft, 90 ft, and 127 ft. Two sides are equal (90 ft), so they are isosceles. Also, since one of the angles is a right - angle (as indicated by the right - angle symbol in the baseball diamond), they are right - isosceles triangles.

Answer:

1. Isosceles triangle
2. Right - isosceles triangles
