Transcript text: Determine the type of triangle that is drawn below.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the given triangle
We are given a triangle with sides PQ = 4.27, PR = 7.22, and QR = 4.99. The angles are ∠P = 43°, ∠Q = 102°, and ∠R = 35°.
Step 2: Classify the triangle based on sides
Since all three sides of the triangle have different lengths (PQ ≠ PR ≠ QR), the triangle is scalene.
Step 3: Classify the triangle based on angles
Since all three angles of the triangle are acute (less than 90°), and they add up to 180° (43° + 102° + 35° = 180°), and one angle (∠Q) is obtuse (greater than 90°), this triangle is considered an obtuse triangle based on its angles.
Final Answer
The given triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle. \\(\boxed{\text{Obtuse Scalene}}\\)
