Geometry help. Please see attachment
well just check if the a sum of two side doesn't exceed the length of one the fisrt one for example do 16+19=35 which is equal to the other side so yes
the second 30+34=64 so no
I understood how to do that. I just didn't know if it was a triangle or not :/ How do you know if it is not a triangle?
so the second be yes
sorry*
How do you know if it is a triangle or not?
in a triangle we sum of two side is always bigger or equal to one side
that's what i'm doing don't you pay attention i said the first two are yes
Okay so for example if it is like 8 = 35 this is considered not a triangle?
if you have one side larger than the sum of two that means it cannot be a triangle
yes
1. Yes 2. No so far correct?
the internet is slow somehow i can't see your reply
the second is yes! 30+34=64 bigger that 58
I know I have to refresh every 5 seconds :/ So 1 Is yes and 2 Is no?
just compare the sum with one side that's all
the third would be no since 2+27=29<31 so no triangle could be constructed
I said second is yes! are you paying attention
nevermind, I figured out the rest of the questions myself.. it was correct. I am glad I paid attention
xapproachesinfinity I gave you a metal because, i dont see why CloverRacer didn't, but becasue i think you helped him good enough
The triangle inequality theorem states the sum of the lengths of any two sides has to be greater than the length of the third side. If the lengths of two sides are equal to the length of the third side, it is NOT a triangle.
i believe that the triangle inequality state the sum of two side is greater that or equal to the length of one side to be precise \(Z\leq X+Y\)
Then what you believe is incorrect. If the length of two sides are equal to the third side, you get a straight line. http://www.mathopenref.com/triangleinequality.html
A straight line or the sides will just not connect. Either way there is no triangle. http://www.geogebratube.org/student/m113411
