How many sides does a triangle have in its base?

A triangle has three sides in total. If it has more than three sides, it is not a triangle. One of the three sides is called the 'base' ... usually the side that the triangle is resting on.


Does a triangle or a heptagon have larger interior angles?

The triangle has a larger interior angle than the heptagon because the heptagon has more sides.


Can you draw an right equilatteral triangle?

No a right triangle cannot be equilateral, the hypotenuse will always be larger than the sides.


Which triangle is larger 1 with sides measuring 200 300 400 cm or one with sides measuring 300 400 700 cm?

Is this a trick question? Each side of the second triangle is bigger than the corresponding side in the first triangle. So the second triangle is larger.


What is the rule for the triangle in length and width?

A triangle has 3 sides. The sum of any two sides must be larger than or equal to the length of the third side, and the difference of any two sides must be less than or equal to the length of the third side.


How much greater is a triangle with a base of 12 in and a height of 17 in than a triangle with a base of 8 in and a height of 15 in?

Comparing the areas: The larger triangle has an areas of 102 sq in the smaller 60 sq in.


On an Icosceles Triangle if The Base is 30cm and One Of the sides is 36cm and the Sides are Parallel is the other side 36cm aswell?

The (equal) sides of an isosceles triangle (drawn with the base on the bottom) cannot be parallel. They must intersect at the top with an included angle greater than zero and less than 180 degrees.


What is the hinge theorem?

The hinge theorem in geometry states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle

69


Which shape has 3 more sides than a triangle?

A triangle has three sides, so a hexagon (a shape with six sides) would have three more sides than a triangle.


What is the Hinge Theorem is based on?

SAS Inequality Theorem the hinge theorem states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle.


Would the following set of sides build a triangle 4 4 5?

Yes. If the sum of the length of the two smaller sides are greater than the length of the larger side and none of the lengths of any of the sides equals 0, then it is a triangle. It is not, however, an equilateral triangle or right triangle (that would be 5, 4, 3), though it is an isosceles triangle.
