A student claims they can draw four different triangles, each meeting two specific criteria. Your job is to determine which of these triangles are possible to create and which are impossible.
In your response you may use the draw space to help you justify your response.
Triangle A: An obtuse, equilateral triangle. Is this possible? Why or Why not?
Triangle B: A right, scalene triangle. Is this possible? Why or Why not?
Triangle C: An acute, isosceles triangle. Is this possible? Why or Why not?
Triangle D: A triangle with side lengths of 4cm, 5cm, and 10cm.
Is this possible? Why or Why not?

Two construction teams are building triangular frames for a structure.

The first team builds
Frame A: sides 5ft, 5ft, 8ft
Frame B: sides 5ft, 5ft, 8ft
The second team builds
Frame C: angles 40°, 70°, 70°
Frame D : angles 40°, 70°, 70°
A worker says since they have the same measurements they must be the same shape and size.
Are Frame A and B identical?
Are frame C and D always identical?
Why or why not? Is the worker right?
