~ Suppose you want to text afriend to give directions for drawing
an exact copy of the figure. What isthe shortest message to do
the job? How do you know?
______________________ ~J
Tofind an answer to the challenge of describing triangles inonly afewwords,
work through this Problem.
aWhich of these short messages giveenough information to draw atriangle
congruent to 6.ABCabove?
1. BC=4cm 2. LB= 60 3. AB=3cm
LB= 60 BC=4cm BC= 4cm
AB=3cm
LC=46 LC= 46"

4. LB =60 5. LB= 60
LA =74 LC=46"
LC=46 AC=3.6cm

~ What minimum information about atriangle aUows you to draw exactly
one triangle?
(!) Draw atriangle ABC in which angle Bmeasures 90. Then make acopy
using the same three lengths of sides. Isyour copy also aright triangle?
Does it matter inwhat order you connect the ides?
