The two shorter sides when added together have to be larger than the third side. If you have a long side 10 in and two small sides each 1 in, you can't reach the end of the 10 in side making a triangle. Same with 10 in side and two 5 in sides, not a triangle because it doesn't enclose space. it would just look like two lines. If you have a 10 in side, a 5 in side and a 6 in side you now have a triangle. 5+6=11 and 11>10

If the width of the triangle is 8 how do you find the length?

# You could use the Pythagorean theorem (a2+b2=c2) if you have the measurements of the other two sides. # If the triangle is a right triangle, and you have either the measurement of one of the sides and the angle of one of the sides, then you can use sine, cosine, or tangent to find it. Other than that, I am not sure if it is mathematically possible.


Is their a triangle with angle measures 7 in 10 in 2.5 in?

Those wouldn't be angle measurements, they would be sides. A triangle could be constructed with sides of those lengths.
