Triangle Inequality Theorem
Any side of a triangle must be shorter than the other two sides added together. If it was longer, the other two sides would not meet.
5
Example 2: Will the following lengths make a triangle?
5 cm, 7 cm, 4 cm Example 2: Will the following lengths make a triangle? 2 in, 4 in, 6 in 5 + 4 = > yes, this makes a triangle 2 + 4 = = no, this does not make a triangle
6
no yes yes yes no yes Practice
Tell if the following side lengths will make a triangle. 1). 7 in, 2 in, 4 in 2). 8 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm 3). 15 yd, 16 yd, 12 yd 4). 7 ft, 8ft, 9 ft 5). 10 in, 12 in, 22 in 6). 5 cm, 8 cm, 4 cm no yes yes yes no yes
7
Closure What are the possible lengths for the third side of a triangle with the following 2 lengths? in and 4 in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8
