Ordering Sides and Angles of a Triangle

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangle and the measures of its angles?

Back

In a triangle, the side opposite the largest angle is the longest, and the side opposite the smallest angle is the shortest.

Front

How do you order the sides of a triangle based on their lengths?

Back

To order the sides of a triangle from shortest to longest, compare the lengths of each side and arrange them accordingly.

Front

What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?

Back

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

How do you determine the largest angle in a triangle?

Back

The largest angle in a triangle can be determined by identifying the longest side, as the angle opposite this side is the largest.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

How do you order the angles of a triangle based on their measures?

Back

To order the angles of a triangle from smallest to largest, compare the measures of each angle and arrange them accordingly.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles and sides in a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, larger angles are opposite longer sides, and smaller angles are opposite shorter sides.

Front

What is an acute triangle?

Back

An acute triangle is a triangle where all three interior angles are less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse triangle?

Back

An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one interior angle greater than 90 degrees.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one interior angle equal to 90 degrees.
