Title: Triangle Inequality Theorem


1
Triangle Inequality Theorem
2
Triangle Inequality Theorem
  • The sum of the two shorter sides of any triangle
    must be greater than the third side.

Example 3 5 gt 7 8 gt 7
Yes!
3
Practice
  • Decide if it is possible to construct a triangle
    having the given side lengths. If not, explain.

13mm, 25mm, 14mm 13 14 gt 25 27 gt 25 Yes!
9in, 17in, 8in 8 9 gt 17 17 gt 17 No!
4
Sides Angles
  • The longest side of a triangle is always across
    from the largest angle. The shortest sides of a
    triangle is always across from the smallest
    angle.
