Decide if a triangle is formed, then use Heron's Formula for area if a triangle is formed. a=3 b=5 c=8 @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah, 3 + 5 = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know if one is formed or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if one side is 3 and the other side is 5, then the third side has to be larger than 8

Oh, okay. Thanks :)

if you lay a stick 3 inches long next to a stick 5 inches long, the total is 8 inches but you have a line, not a triangle |dw:1359388585529:dw|
