Triangle Angle Side Relationship

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.

How do you determine the longest side of a triangle?

Back

The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
