Question

Using the side lengths how do I determine what type of triangle would be created, if any?

Answer 1

There is a theorem that states the the sum of the smaller sides must be higher than the highest side

a) 2, 4, 5

2 + 4 > 5 this is a triangle obtuse

b) 3, 4, 5

3 + 4 > 5 this is a triangle right

c) 6 , 7 , 8

6 + 7 > 8 this is a triangle Acute

d) 3, 3, 10

3 + 3 < 8 this is not a triangle Cannot form a triangle
