If the triangle is a right triangle then you can figure the third side called the hypotenuse. Square the first side, square the second side then add them together. Take the square root of that total and that will be the third side.
5^2=25
12^2=144
25+144=169
13x13=169 so the hypotenuse is 13.

What is the value of x when one triangle reads 16 by 6 and the other is 5 by x?
It is impossible to answer the question because a triangle cannot be specified with only two lengths.
Can 4 and 5 and 6 be the lengths of a right triangle?
Pythagoras says no.4squared + 5squared = 6squared16 + 25 = 3641 = 36Unless you could prove that all numbers have exactly the same value without diving by zero, 4, 5 and 6 cannot be the lengths of a right-angled triangle.
What is the absolute value of twelve?
The absolute value of twelve is 12.
Can a triangle exist whose sum of two sides is equal to third side?
No. No Triangle exists where the sum of 2 sides of the triangle is either equal to the third side or is less than the third side.Even, if we consider Right-Angled Triangle, then according to Pythagoras Theorem, c2= a2+b2, where c=Hypotenuse, a and b are the other 2 sides of the triangle. Now, if we consider the minimum +ve value of a and b which is greater than 0, i.e, if we consider a = 1 unit and b = 1 unit, then the value ofc = square-root of (1^2 + 1^2) = square-root of (1 + 1 ) = square-root of (2) which is < than the sum of the value of side a and b. Since the value of square-root is additive in nature, for any +ve value of a and b, this result stands true.Hence, The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the the measure of the third side. This rule must be satisfied for all 3 permutations of the sides. In other words, as soon as you know that the sum of 2 sides is less than the measure of a third side, then you know that the sides do not make up a triangle .Regards,Suvarthi DasBirati, Kolkata-81
How do you work out the value of a triangle?
A triangle does not have any particular value. There are the magnitudes of its size, its angles, its area, its perimeter etc, but no single VALUE.
What is the third side of a triangle with 15 and 12.5?
Assuming that 15 and 12.5 units are measures of the lengths of two sides of the triangle, the third is any value in (2.5, 27.5) units

In geometry what is the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle?
In geometry, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle will be a value that exceeds the length of the third side. There is nothing more specific we can say other than that. But use the link below to the related question for just a bit more information.

A triangle has two sides of lengths 4 and 15. What value could the length of the third side be Check all that apply.?
It could be 12 because the sum of the 2 smaller sides of a triangle must be bigger than its largest side.
A triangle has two sides of lengths 6 and 9. What value could the length of the third side be Check all that apply.?

What is the value of x when one triangle reads 16 by 6 and the other is 5 by x?
It is impossible to answer the question because a triangle cannot be specified with only two lengths.
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 4 and 15?
For a triangle to exist, the sum of the two shorter sides must be longer than the longest side. If 15 is the longest side, then the other, missing, shorter side must be greater than 15 - 4 = 11. If the third, missing, side is the longest side, then it must be less than 15 + 4 = 19 So the third side is any length greater than 11 and less than 19. Examples include 12, 13, 15, 11.5, 18.5.
Can 4 and 5 and 6 be the lengths of a right triangle?
Pythagoras says no.4squared + 5squared = 6squared16 + 25 = 3641 = 36Unless you could prove that all numbers have exactly the same value without diving by zero, 4, 5 and 6 cannot be the lengths of a right-angled triangle.
What is the absolute value of twelve?
The absolute value of twelve is 12.
If the measures of two angles of an isosceles triangle are 54 degrees and 63 degrees what is measure of the third angle?
The total internal angles of a triangle always equal 180 degrees. Therefore, the third angle of this triangle must be 180 - 54 - 63 = 63. Since this value is the same as one of the stated sides, the triangle is indeed isosceles.
