Concept
Identify Possible Triangles Given Side Lengths A. Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths of 6 , 6 , and 14 ? If not, explain why not. __ 1 2 Check each inequality. X Answer: Example 1
Identify Possible Triangles Given Side Lengths B. Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths of 6.8, 7.2, 5.1? If not, explain why not. Check each inequality. 6.8 + 7.2 > 5.1 7.2 + 5.1 > 6.8 6.8 + 5.1 > 7.2 14 > 5.1 12.3 > 6.8 11.9 > 7.2 Since the sum of all pairs of side lengths are greater than the third side length, sides with lengths 6.8, 7.2, and 5.1 will form a triangle. Answer: yes Example 1
B. Is it possible to form a triangle given the side lengths 4. 8, 12 B. Is it possible to form a triangle given the side lengths 4.8, 12.2, and 15.1? A. yes B. no Example 1
