A B C D E F A = 12in B = 9in C = 14in D = 5 in E = 15 in F = 4 in Which line segments could you use to form three different triangles? EX: A, B, C would make a triangle Which line segments could you use that would not make a triangle?
A triangle has a side length of 12 inches and another side length of 15 inches. Is it possible that the sum of the side lengths of the triangle could be 34 inches? 12 + 15 + x = 34 x + 27 = 34 x = 7 A triangle has a side length of 14 inches and another side length of 28 inches. Is it possible that the sum of the side lengths of the triangle could be 45 inches? 14 + 28 + x = 45 x + 42 = 45 x = 3 Leg + Leg > Hypotenuse 7 + 12 > 15 True! Yes, it makes a triangle! Leg + Leg > Hypotenuse 3 + 14 > 45 FALSE! NO, it does not make a triangle!
