Is it possible to build a triangle with the lengths of 9 8 and 17?

No. Because the total length of the two smaller sides (9 and 8) equal the length of the remaining side (17). No angles would be formed, so there would be no triangle.
The total length of the two smallest sides has to be greater than the length of the longest side in order to make a triangle.

What are all the possible lengths for the sides of a triangle if the triangle's perimeter is 17 and the lengths of the sides are integers?
The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third so the following eight triangles will do: (1,8,8), (2,7,8), (3,6,8), (3,7,7), (4,5,8), (4,6,7), (5,5,7) and (5,6,6).
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 15 and 8?
17
What if the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 8 and 15?
a2 + b2 = c2 82 + 152 = c2 64 + 225 = c2 289 = c2 square root of 289 is 17. The length of the hypotenuse is 17.
Can 9 9 17 form a triangle?
Can 9, 8, and 17 for a triangle?
What is the minimum and maximum length of the third side of a triangle with sides 11 and 28?
The minimum length possible is 18. The maximum is 38.

A triangle has a base 17 units long and the lengths of the other two sides are equal if the side lengths are integers what is the shortest possible side length?
9 is shortest integer side length greater than 17/2
What is the area of a triangle with side lengths 14 17 and 7?
depends on wat kinda triangle
Can you have a triangle with the sides 4 13 and 14?
To check whether it is possible to have a triangle with side lengths 4cm, 13cm, and 14cm, we use a special rule.The rule is: If you take any two sides of a triangle and add their lengths, the sum of the lengths must be greater than the third side.Test this triangle. 4+13=17, which is bigger than 14. 14+4=18, which is bigger than 13. 13+14=27, which is greater than 4.The rule works for all side combinations, so it is possible to have a triangle like this.So the answer is: yes, you can have a triangle of side lengths 4cm, 13cm, 14cm. (Note that the lengths do not have to be in centimeters, for example they can be 4m, 13m, and 14m)
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 15 and 8?
17
Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides of the given lengths 12 11 17?
Yes because the sum of the 2 smaller sides is greater than longest side
What is the area of the triangle that has sides 10 inches 17 inches 21 inches 8 inches?
A triangle cannot have four lengths!
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 8 and 15?
17 units using Pythagoras' theorem
Is it possible to construct a triangle with the side lengths 11 17 29?
No. One of the sides is longer than the other two combined. If the side which is 29 is AB then the side connected to it at A will never be able to meet the side connected to it at B.
Can 18 24 30 be the side lengths of a right triangle?
YES. 18 and 24 are the two leg lengths and 30 is the hypotenuse then by Pythagoras' Theorem :- 182 + 242 = 302 324 + 576 = 900......which is true and therefore the three side lengths 18, 24 and 30 do form the sides of a right-angled triangle.
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 5 and 12?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the square root of the sums of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, i.e. it is c, where c2 = (a2 + b2).The hypotenuse for the example is c = [sqrt (52 + 122)] = [sqrt (25+144)]= sqrt [169] = 13.
Can a triangle with side lengths of 8 15 and 17 be a right triangle?
Add the squares of the two smaller sides. Is it equal to the square of the biggest side? If yes, it is a right angled triangle. 82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289 172 = 289 The same, so it is right angled.
