Given three side lengths, how many triangles can be formed? 1 2 3 infinitely many

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 i think. Lol any pictures that go along with this?

Directrix (directrix):

Without the actual lengths, how are we to know?

Directrix (directrix):

One side of a triangle is shorter than the sum of the other two sides.

Directrix (directrix):

So, if I give you these three lenghts: 1, 1, 3, then You cannot make a triangle out of those 3 lengths.

Directrix (directrix):

If you are given 3 side lengths that are stated to be sides of a triangle, and then asked "how many" then that is 1. As the question is stated, I see no correct option.

Directrix (directrix):

>>>3 i think Don't agree. @Rocky_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok you don't have to agree, i guessed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the sum of any two sides greater than the third then only one triangle can be formed. if the sum of two sides =third side then it is a straight line or a triangle with height=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @Rocky_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yw. Was i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
