Yes.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! In a kite, there are a total of four line segments. Two of these line segments are the longer sides of the kite, while the other two line segments are the shorter sides that connect the longer sides together. Just remember, every line segment in a kite plays a special part in creating its beautiful shape.
For a triangle to exist, the sum of the shorter two sides must be longer than the third side.
If you know the length of the sides, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the height. Use half the base for one of the shorter sides, and either of the two identical sides of the triangle for the hypothenuse. Solve for the other one of the shorter sides (the height).
NO!!! Reason. The sum of the two shorter sides MUSR be longer than the longest side.
Yes and in effect you are using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
No. To form a triangle the sum of the shorter two sides MUST be greater than the longer side. 6 + 5 = 11 < 12 → cannot be a triangle.
In a right triangle, the two shorter sides are called legs.

Each of the line segments must be shorter than the sum of the other three.

To show that the perpendicular line segment is the shortest among all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let the given point be P and the line segment be AB, with the perpendicular from P meeting AB at C. By the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, PC is the hypotenuse, and AP and AC are the other two sides. Thus, AC (perpendicular line segment) will always be shorter than any other line segment AB drawn from point P.
If the line segment is 1 inch shorter than the other line segment in Hopeton, then the length of the line segment would be 1 inch less than the length of the other line segment. So, if the other line segment is x inches long, then this line segment would be x - 1 inches long.
The legs.
The short sides of a right triangle are the legs.
isosceles triangle
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double the length of the shorter leg.
