On a piece of paper, use a protractor and a ruler to construct △abc with ab=4 in. , ac=4 in. , and m∠a=60° . which statement is true about this triangle?
a) bc=3 in.
b) bc=4 in.
c) bc=5 in.
d) bc can not be measured

B) BC=4 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In △ABC , AB=4 inch ,AC=4 in. , and m∠A=60°

⇒ AB=AC= 4 inches

⇒ △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

⇒ m∠A=60°=m∠B   [angles opposite to the equal sides of a triangle are equal]

Now by angle sum property,

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

⇒60°+60°+m∠C=180°

⇒ m∠C=180°-120°

⇒ m∠C=60°

⇒ △ABC is an equilateral triangle.

⇒ BC= 4 inches [sides of an equilateral triangles are equal]

⇒ B is the right answer.

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine
