Triangle Inequality

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.

Identify the types of triangles based on angles.

Back

1. Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90 degrees. 2. Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees. 3. Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.

Can a triangle be formed with side lengths: 4, 7, 10?

Back

Yes, because 4 + 7 > 10, 4 + 10 > 7, and 7 + 10 > 4.
