If a(t), b(t), and c(t) are the lengths of the three sides of a triangle t in non-decreasing order (i.e. a(t) ≤ b(t) ≤ c(t)), we define the sets: • X := {Triangle t : a(t) = b(t)} • Y := {Triangle t : b(t) = c(t)} • T := the set of all triangles Using only set operations on these three sets, define:

Question
  1. If a(t), b(t), and c(t) are the lengths of the three sides of a triangle t in non-decreasing order (i.e. a(t) ≤ b(t) ≤ c(t)), we define the sets:

    • X := {Triangle t : a(t) = b(t)}
    • Y := {Triangle t : b(t) = c(t)}
    • T := the set of all triangles

    Using only set operations on these three sets, define:


    (a) The set of all equilateral triangles (all sides equal)







    (b) The set of all isosceles triangles (at least two sides equal)





discrete math




(c) The set of all scalene triangles (no two sides equal)
