Some questions about right triangles

Questions: What happens if the hypotenuse shirinks or lengthens in a right triangle?



  1. Well if I shirnk the hypotenuse the triangle will no longer by a right triangle. The triangle will be acute. But if the hypotenuse lengthens then the triangle will be an obtuse triangle.

What will happen if the base side is zero?


2. If the base side hits zero then the triangle won't be a triangel anymore. It will just because staright line becase there isn't a base. Therefore it isn't a triangles.

******If you got any more questions for me. COMMENT ME!******

  1. its sort of hard to figure out what exactly your talking about. maybe you should have some visualization togo along with your explaination. it wold help be more clear and understandable.

  3. You asked what would happen if you stretch or shrink the hypotenuse and concluded that you would no longer have a right triangle. Do you think that there is a way to increase the hypotenuse while also retaining your 90 degree angle? What would happen then?

  4. i like the way you answered the questions. but to some people it may be hard to understand without a visual. can the question be answered with more detail? if so, can you explain more about the hypotenuse's size in/decreasing and what it does to the triangle. do you see any patterns? but so far its good.

  5. You asked more than one question which was great. You could also explain more in the answers but they were good.

  6. I like the questions you asked Myisha. They are really thoughtful questions. What do you mean by when the hypotenuse lengths? What does that mean because i am totally lost by that but other then that the rest of ya bloq is really qOod.

  7. what you have is good but to make it better is to add images and a table of the questions you talk about and explain more in detail about your anwsers that you found.. good work
