1. Align the center of the protractor with the angle’s vertex.
The angle measure is 70 .° So, the angle is acute.
2. Align the center of the protractor with the angle’s vertex.
The angle measure is 90 .° So, the angle is a right angle.
3. Align the center of the protractor with the angle’s vertex.
The angle measure is 115 .° So, the angle is obtuse.
4. Draw a ray. Place the center of the protractor on the endpoint of the ray and align the protractor so the ray passes through the 0° mark. Make a mark at 55 .° Then draw a ray from the endpoint at the center of the protractor through the mark at 55 .°
5. Draw a ray. Place the center of the protractor on the endpoint of the ray and align the protractor so the ray passes through the 0° mark. Make a mark at 160 .° Then draw a ray from the endpoint at the center of the protractor through the mark at 160 .°
6. Draw a ray. Place the center of the protractor on the endpoint of the ray and align the protractor so the ray passes through the 0° mark. Make a mark at 85 .° Then draw a ray from the endpoint at the center of the protractor through the mark at 85 .°
7. Draw a ray. Place the center of the protractor on the endpoint of the ray and align the protractor so the ray passes through the 0° mark. Make a mark at 180 .° Then draw a ray from the endpoint at the center of the protractor through the mark at 180 .°

1. The triangle has a right angle and two congruent sides. So, the triangle is a right isosceles triangle.
2. The triangle has all congruent angles and all congruent sides. So, the triangle is an equiangular and equilateral triangle.
3. Sample answer:
The triangle has two congruent angles and one right angle. So, it is a right isosceles triangle.
4. Sample answer:

1. Triangles can be classified by the size of their angles and by the number of congruent angles. An acute triangle has all acute angles. An obtuse triangle has 1 obtuse angle. A right triangle has 1 right angle. An equiangular triangle has 3 congruent angles.
Triangles can also be classified by the number of congruent sides they have. Scalene triangles have no congruent sides. Isosceles triangles have at least 2 congruent sides. Equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides.
2. “Construct a triangle with no congruent sides” is different; Constructed triangle that is equilateral, equiangular and with 3 congruent sides:

6. The triangle has two are congruent sides and one right angle. So, the triangle is a right isosceles triangle.
7. The triangle has all congruent sides and all congruent angles. So, the triangle is an equilateral and equiangular triangle.
8. The triangle has two congruent sides and one obtuse angle. So, it is an obtuse isosceles triangle.
9. The triangle has no congruent sides and a right angle. So, it is a right scalene triangle.
10. The triangle has no congruent sides and all acute angles. So, it is an acute scalene triangle.
11. The triangle has no congruent sides and one obtuse angle. So, it is an obtuse scalene triangle.
12. The solution incorrectly concludes that a triangle is acute if it has some acute angles. Because 98 90 ,° > ° this
angle is obtuse. The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle because it has one obtuse angle and no congruent sides.
13. The triangle has two congruent sides and all acute angles. So, it is an acute isosceles triangle.
14. Sample answer:
The triangle has no congruent sides and one right angle. So, it is a right scalene triangle.
15. Sample answer:
The triangle has no congruent sides and one obtuse angle. So, it is an obtuse scalene triangle.

23. many; You can change the angle formed by the two given sides to construct many triangles.
24. one; Only one line segment can be drawn between the end points of the two given sides.
25. no; The sum of any two side lengths must be greater than the remaining length. Because the two 2-inch sides have a sum less than 5, no triangle can be constructed.
