2nd M@th P0st

After investigating more on the triangles I have found out a few more things. What I did differently this time I put one of the sides of it to the smallest possible number it could be. From there I brought the other line down by one every time and wrote down what the angles were through the whole process. They went as followed.

As you can see Angle C remained constant the whole entire time. The only angles that changed we angles A and B. They changed at a constant rate. The pattern I noticed for angle A was that it constantly went up in the difference between its last angles number. The lowest number was .79 and the biggest was 18.43. The difference get really big as you can see. This is almost exactly the same for angle B. It goes just in a different way. The only difference is that in angle B there is a .1 difference in all of its numbers. The pattern is constant to say that when you change the sides of a triangle the angles of it change consistently with it.

My next plan is to subtract both of them to see how much differently his will affect them. With the last two I have subtracted evenly from both sides and they have ended up subtracting constantly. So now I will try and make them subtract unevenly. I will just see what happens.

  1. I'm not clear on what you are subtracting. Are you subtracting from the angles and seeing what happens to the sides? Are you subtracting from the sides and seeing what happens to the angles? Are you subtracting the sides from each other and seeing what you get? Give me more, I'm curious.
