How do you construct a triangle when the only measurements given are the length of the sides?

Draw a horizontal line AB equal to one of the side lengths.
From A draw an arc of a circle of radius one of the remaining lengths.
From B draw an arc of a circle of radius the third length.
Where the arcs intersect is point C.
Join AC and BC.
Voila!

Which measurements could be the lenghts of the sides of a triangle 5cm2cm7cm?
No the given measurements would not make a triangle because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its smallest sides must be greater than its longest side.
What is the largest angle of a triangle with sides of 5.8cm by 14.1cm by 8.3cm showing work?
Such a triangle would be impossible to construct with the given 3 dimensions because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its 2 shortest sides must be greater than the length of its longest side.
How do you construct a circle that has radius with an equal length to the given line segment?
Adjust the compass to the given line segment then construct the circle.
Is it possible to construct a triangle acruatly given ssa?
No, it is an ambiguous case: there are two possible configurations.
How do you construct equilateral triangle if only altitude is given?
Use trigonometry knowing that the angle will be 60 degrees

You are given side AB with a length of 6 centimeters and side BC with a length of 5 centimeters. The measure of angle A is 30 deg. How many triangles can you construct using these measurements?
It appears that there are 3 vertices and providing that the sum of the two smallest sides is greater than the triangle's largest side only one triangle is possible from the given information.
Can 5 8 12 construct a triangle?
The given dimensions will construct a triangle which will almost look like a straight line.
You are given a side length of 7 centimeters. How many equilateral triangles can you construct using this information?
There is only one distinct triangle.
You and rsquore given side AB with a length of 6 centimeters and side BC with a length of 5 centimeters. The measure of angle A is 30 and deg. How many triangles can you construct using these measurem?
You're given side AB with a length of 6 centimeters and side BC with a length of 5 centimeters. The measure of angle A is 30°. How many triangles can you construct using these measurements?
Is it possbile to construct a triangle with the given sides 1 4 and 6?
no
How do you construct a circle that has radius with an equal length to the given line segment?
Adjust the compass to the given line segment then construct the circle.
Is there a triangle that has one side of length 4 inches one side of 2 inches and one side of length 1 inch?
No because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its 2 shortest sides must be greater than its longest side and from the given dimensions 2+1 is less than 4 and so therefore a triangle is not possible.
What type of a triangle makes a 3in 8in 4in?
None because the given dimensions are invalid to construct any type of triangle
Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths 15 112 113?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible to construct a triangle acruatly given ssa?
No, it is an ambiguous case: there are two possible configurations.
