problem_activity: Problem 1
Your group should have a few copies of
Handout #2
and a set of cards from
Handout #1
.
Draw three cards and place them in the appropriate places on the Handout #2 form. This represents three conditions about a triangle. Once you’ve placed them on the form, do not change the order.
Determine if the set of conditions will make one unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.
If you can make one unique triangle, draw and label the triangle.
If more than one or no triangle can be made, be prepared to explain your reasoning.
