Constructing Triangles

🎬 Video Tutorial

(0:01) Triangle Basics: Triangles consist of vertices, sides, and angles, labelled in a specific way.
(0:51) Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Construction: Start with the known side, then use a protractor to draw the two angles at each end. Where lines intersect is the third vertex.
(2:12) Side-Side-Angle (SSA) Construction: Be careful, this may create two possible triangles.
(3:05) Side-Side-Side (SSS) Construction: Draw one side, then use a compass to mark the lengths of the other two sides from each end, finding the intersection as the third vertex.

Constructing Triangles

1 / 6

Q: You are given two sides (5 cm and 7 cm) and the angle between them ($40^\circ$). Can a unique triangle be constructed?

$A triangle with a 40° angle marked in orange, a base length of 7 cm, and one adjacent side length of 5 cm.$

Yes, but there are two possible triangles.

It depends on the angle measures.

Yes, a unique triangle can be constructed.

No, the triangle cannot be constructed.
