Question

Part 1: On your own paper, create a triangle having different lengths of two sides. Provide a description of your triangle including the lengths of the two given sides.

Part 2: For the triangle created in Part 1, what is the range of values that the length of the third side can NOT be?

Part 3: Justify your answer. Part 1: On your own paper, create a triangle having different lengths of two sides. Provide a description of your triangle including the lengths of the two given sides.

Answer 1

Part 1 is pretty self-explanatory. Pick two numbers (make them easy numbers, and different from one another).

Part 2 needs us to consider the characteristics of triangles. If the two sides you have chosen are to connect into a triangle, the side connecting them must be no longer than the sum of the two sides we have chosen (if it's longer, we can't connect the two sides to make the triangle). If we choose a side shorter than what we already have, it has to be at least as long as the difference between the longer and shorter sides chosen.

Answer 2

Note: In Part 2 above, I figured out what we need the lengths to be. The question is phrased in the opposite, what the lengths can't be.

Answer 3

Part 3 you have to draw.

Part 4 (disguised as a repeat of Part 2) is answered above.

Answer 4

Hope I was helpful.

Answer 5

Yes you were thank you very much!
