Using straws or strips of paper, construct a triangle with side lengths of 3 inches, 4 inches, and 5 inches. Include a sketch of your construction, labeling the sides. Then, describe the triangle you constructed and explain your reasoning. Use complete sentences in your answer.

Be as specific as possible in your description. For example, if the triangle is scalene and obtuse, describe as both scalene and obtuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached for reference

Since the sides are 3, 4 and 5 it is right triangle with legs 3 and 4 and hypotenuse of 5.

It is easy to construct as pictured

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
