Can you use Trigonometry if you only know the sides of the triangle?

Do you mean you know the lengths of the sides but you don't know the size
of any of the angles ?
If that's the situation, then yes. The lengths of the sides tell you everything
about the triangle, and they define one and only one unique triangle. With
a little bit of trig, you can figure out what the size of each angle has to be.

How do you make a triangle when you only know two sides and one angle?
Thats already a triangle if it three sides.
How many inches is a scalene triangle?
A scalene triangle can be the size of a mosquito or the size of a city. The only thing you know about it is that no two of its sides are equal. If you only know that it's a scalene triangle, then there's no way to know how long any of its sides is.
What type of triangle's sides have all nine sides?
A triangle can have only three sides. No triangle can have 9 sides!
How do you find angles in a triangle using only the lengths?
By using trigonometry
How do you find the height of a triangle if you only have the base and two angles?
Use trigonometry depending on what type of triangle it is.
If the only information given about an oblique triangle is the lengths of the three sides which method should you use to solve for the angles?
By using the cosine rule in trigonometry the angles of the triangle can be worked out.

How do you find an area triangle with only 2 sides?
Its not a triangle if it has only two sides.
What are the angles from smallest to greatest in a triangle that has sides of 8.3cm 5.4cm and 7.1cm?
If you know all three sides of a triangle, you can calculate the angles using the law of cosines. If you only want to know which angle is the smallest, it is much simpler: The angle that is opposite to the smallest side is the smallest angle; the angle that is opposite to the largest side is the largest angle.
What is the distance of a triangle all the way round?
It is the sum of all three sides. If you are only given 2 sides, you may need to use pythagoras' theorem, and if you are given an angle and a side you may need to use trigonometry.
Can trigonometry be applied only in right angled triangles?
No. It can be used on any triangle.
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?
i can

Measure them
