What is the Triangle Inequality Theorem?
Back
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If the side lengths of a triangle are a, b, and c, what must be true for these lengths to form a triangle?
Back
The following inequalities must hold: a + b > c, a + c > b, and b + c > a.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Given side lengths of 5 and 7, what is the range of possible lengths for the third side?
Back
The length of the third side must be greater than 2 (7 - 5) and less than 12 (5 + 7), so the range is (2, 12).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between the angles and sides of a triangle?
Back
In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side, and the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Can the side lengths 3, 4, and 8 form a triangle?
Back
No, because 3 + 4 is not greater than 8.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the smallest angle in a triangle with sides of lengths 6, 8, and 10?
Back
The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side, which is 6.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If two sides of a triangle measure 10 and 14, what is the maximum possible length of the third side?
Back
The maximum possible length of the third side is 23 (10 + 14 - 1).
