A basketball coach is setting up a passing drill.
A player stands at the corner and passes to two other teammates so that the angles between the passes are equal. The 3 players form a triangle.
What kind of triangle is formed? Are the two teamates the same distance from the passer? Justify your answer
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?
