Which set of numbers can not represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

There are lots of sets of numbers that fit that definition! But the important thing to remember about triangles is the Third Side Rule, or the Triangle Inequality, which states: the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides. So you can have a triangle with sides of 3, 4 and 5 because 3 < 4 + 5, 4 < 3 + 5 and 5 < 3 + 4; and because 3 > 5 - 4, 4 > 5 - 3 and 5 > 4 - 3. But you can't have a triangle with sides 1, 2 and 8, for example. Just imagine three pieces of wood or three straws with lengths 1, 2 and 8. Put the longest piece, 8, horizontally on the table. Then put the other two, one at each end of the longest piece. Could those two shorter sides ever meet to form a triangle? No, never!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The length is always positive, so that all real positive numbers can represent the length of sides of a triangle: {x| x > 0}.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Whoever added that to my answer, sorry, I beg to differ! The question asked what SET of numbers cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle. There are infinite possibilities for that. While the lengths are always a set of real positive numbers, not every possible set of real positive numbers is a potential set of numbers that represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle!


How do you know a triangle is a right triangle?

It has one right angle (90 degrees). If you don't have a protractor handy, just use the corner of any piece of paper


A 80 inch pipe is cut into two pieces.One piece is three times the length of the other. find the lengths of two pieces.?

Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! If we let the length of the shorter piece be x inches, then the longer piece would be 3x inches. Since the total length is 80 inches, we can set up the equation x + 3x = 80 and solve for x. The shorter piece is 20 inches long and the longer piece is 60 inches long. It's just that easy!


If A piece of timber has been cut in to two lengths in ratio of 7 to 2 original piece was 828cm how long is the larger piece?

To find the length of the larger piece, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 7 + 2 = 9 parts. Next, we divide the total length of the original piece by the total number of parts to find the length of one part: 828 cm / 9 = 92 cm. Finally, we multiply the length of the larger piece's parts in the ratio by 7 (since the larger piece has 7 parts): 92 cm * 7 = 644 cm. Therefore, the larger piece is 644 cm long.

How would you work out the perpendicular height of a triangle if they give you the area?

I think you need at least one other piece of information. A length of a side? An angle? Is it a right angled triangle?

You can't with just the length of one side for piece of information

Can an Isosceles triangles may be obtuse or acute but never right?

Not true. A triangle with angles of 90, 45 and 45 is a right angled isosceles triangle. If you take a square piece of paper and fold it in half - from corner to corner - you will get this shape.


If you fold a square piece of paper so that opposite vertices are touching what shape do you get?

you get an isoceles triangle which is a triangle that has two sides equal and the other side is a different length.


What is Pythagoras theory used for?

He came up with the Pythagoras theoremIn a right angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the squares on the other two sides.Builders make use of the theorem to make corners square. If you have piece of rope or chain 12 metres long and make a triangle on the ground where one side is 3 metres , another 4 and the longest 5 then a right angle will be formed between the 3 and 4 metre lengths.


Is an isosceles triangle a solid?

No. A triangle is a two-dimensional figure. It has only length and width, but not thickness. It's a flat shape that can be drawn on a piece of paper, whereas solids are 3-dimensional (for example, a pyramid).


Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 15m. What is the length of a side?

Well, well, well, look who's trying to flex their math muscles. If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 15m, that means all three sides are equal. So, divide 15m by 3 and voila, you get the length of each side - 5m. Math really can be a piece of cake, huh?


How do you make a 5 piece triangle tangram?

To create a 5-piece triangle tangram, start with a large equilateral triangle and divide it into five distinct shapes: two smaller triangles, a square, and two right-angled triangles. Cut the shapes carefully to ensure they fit together perfectly when reassembled. You can arrange these pieces in various configurations to form different shapes and figures. This simple tangram can be a fun way to explore geometry and spatial relationships.
