Determining if Given Measurements Can Create a Triangle

This video tutorial teaches how to determine if given measurements can form a triangle. It covers the characteristics of different triangles, such as equilateral triangles, and explains the triangle inequality theorem, which states that any side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides. The tutorial includes a practical example of drawing a scalene triangle using specific measurements and demonstrates the use of tools like rulers, protractors, and compasses to ensure accuracy.
