Dubby Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just need clarification on one thing for my coursework. If I was given 3 lengths of sides - if the two smaller ones didn't have combined lengths that amount to more than the third one, they wouldn't be able to construct a triangle would they? Also, is there any other conditions where they wouldn't be able to construct a triangle? (just being given 3 side lengths) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tulse Hill Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 All angles in triangle add up to 180% If you got 2 equal lengths, then ur gunna have 2 angles the same, this is called iscocoles triangle You can make an equalatril triangle with 2 obtuse angles and a reflax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lens Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 no side can b bigger than the sum of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tulse Hill Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 no side can b bigger than the sum of the other two. yeh it can as long as they all add up to 180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathsboy Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 no side can b bigger than the sum of the other two. Every side will always be bigger than the sum of the other two. And all angles add up to 180 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
