The triangle below has side measurements of 24 17 and 9. Match the side length of the triangle to the appropriate side using what you know about triangle relationships.

See attachment for triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Draw a triangle that represent the given sides

No template is given. So, I will draw the triangle from scratch

But first, we check if the given sides are valid for a triangle (using triangle inequality theorem).

This states that:

All three inequalities must be true.

Substitute values of each side in the three inequalities

--- True

--- True

--- True

Since the sides are valid, then the triangle can be drawn (See attachment for triangle)

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
