What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 7 and 12?

To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side.
If 12 is the longer side then the missing side must be greater than 12 - 7 = 5
If the missing side is the longer side then the missing side must be less than 12 + 7 = 19
Thus any length that is greater than 5 and less than 19.

HOW DO YOu classify triangles based on the side lengths?
Triangles are not classified by the length of their sides, but by their shapes. A right triangle, for example, is a triangle which includes one 90o angle. This is true regardless of the size of the triangle; it could have sides a thousand miles long or a thousandth of an inch long and still be a right triangle, as long as it has that 90o angle. An equilateral triangle has three sides which are all of the same length. This is true, again, regardless of the size of the triangle. The three sides could all be a million miles long, or they could be microscopic, but if they are all the same length, then the triangle is equilateral.It would be better to ask about classifying triangles by the relative lengths of their sides.If all the sides are different lengths, we class it as a Scalene Triangle. (Note that all three angles also are different.)If exactly two sides have the same length we call it an Isosceles triangle (Note that two of the angles also are the same size. And try to get the spelling right!!!)If all three sides are the same length, we call it an Equilateral triangle. (If you like you could say that it is a special case of an isosceles triangle). All three angle are the same and they always are sixty degrees each.
Does 5cm 5cm 5cm make a triangle?
5cm, 5cm, and 5cm could represent the lengths of the sides of an equilateral triangle, or might indicate the length, width, and height of a cube.
Can three sides of 25m 15m and 5m form a triangle?
Triangle inequality says that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.Since 15 + 5 = 20 < 25, we cannot draw a triangle.
How do you work out the perimeter for a triangle?
-- Make sure you have the lengths of all three sides -- Add up the lengths of all three sides to get the perimeter of the triangle.
If the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle on either side of the 90 degree angle are 150 inches and 200 inches what is the length of the remaining side the hypotenuse?
If the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle on either side of the 90 degree angle are 150 inches and 200 inches, the length of the hypotenuse is: 250 inches.
What set of lengths could not be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
If any of its 2 sides is not greater than its third in length then a triangle can't be formed.
Which three measurements could be the length of the sides of a triangle?
The list that accompanies the question doesn't contain any numbers that could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
What is the triangle that has the lengths of at least two sides?
An EQUILATERAL triangle has all three sides the same length. An ISOSCELES triangle has two sides with the same length. A SCALENE triangle has all three sides different lengths.
Which triangle can be classified by the length of its sides as an?
If the lengths of its 3 sides are equal then it is an equilateral triangle.
This type of triangle has sides of different lengths?
The triangle that has sides of different length is called a scalene triangle.
How do you name the name a triangle by the length of its sides?
If all of its sides are the same length its an equilateral triangle. If only two of its sides are the same length it is an isosceles triangle. If all the sides are different lengths it is a scalene triangle
Which triangle has three sides of equal length?
It is an equilateral triangle that has 3 sides of equal lengths
A triangle has two sides that have lengths of 8 cm and 14 cm what lengths could not represent the length of the third side?
7cm
What is a triangle with no equal sides of length?
A triangle with no equal side lengths is a scalene triangle.
What is the name of A triangle with sides of no equal length?
A triangle with no right angle and sides of different lengths is a scalene triangle.
A triangle has two of lengths 7and 9 What value could the length of the third side be?
A triangle has two sides of lengths 7 and 9. what value could the length of the third side be?
What is an isosceles and scalene?
They are triangles. An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal length, and the other side would be a different length. A right triangle could be an isosceles triangle. On the other hand, a scalene triangle has all of its sides different lengths.
