Triangles and Inequalities HW

Front

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.

Front

Given two sides of a triangle measuring 7 mm and 4 mm, what is the range of possible lengths for the third side?

Back

The length of the third side must be more than 3 mm but less than 11 mm.

Front

What is the formula to find the range of the third side of a triangle given two sides a and b?

Back

The range for the third side c is: |a - b| < c < a + b.

Front

If one side of a triangle is 13 ft and another is 7 ft, what is the range for the third side?

Back

The length of the third side must be more than 6 ft but less than 20 ft.

Front

What does it mean if two angles are congruent in a triangle?

Back

If two angles are congruent, it means they have the same measure.
