Use the triangle inequality theorem to find the possible side lengths of a triangle.
Use the triangle inequality theorem to find the possible side lengths of a triangle.
Can a triangle have sides with the given lengths? Explain.
1ft, 5ft, 8ft
Choose the correct statement below.
No, because 1+5<8
contradicts the triangle inequality theorem.
No, because 8+1>5
contradicts the triangle inequality theorem.
Yes, because 1+5<8
satisfies the triangle inequality theorem.
Yes, because 8+1>5
satisfies the triangle inequality theorem.
