To find out whether the given statement is true or false and justify the answer.
Answer to Problem 60E
False.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The given statement is
“If three sides or three angles of an oblique triangle are known, then the triangle can be solved.
We know that the sum of three angles of a triangle is
Here, it is given that no angle of the triangle is right angle because the given triangle is oblique triangle.
We need to know the measure of at least one side and two other measures of the triangle-either two sides or one side and one angle in order to solve any oblique triangle.
Therefore, it is possible to solve any oblique triangle if three sides are given.
It is not possible to solve this triangle if only three angles are given.
The given statement is false.
