How do you know if a triangle is possible given the length of the three sides?

the sum of any two sides should be GREATER than the third side. (ex. 5, 6, 9. is it possible? well, 5+6=11, 11>9: YES; 6+9=15, 15>5: YES; 5+9=14, 14>6: YES. so yes it would make a triangle) :)

Is it possible to form a triangle with the given side length 3 4 8?
Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than third side. 3 + 4 = 7 < 8, but 7 is less than 8. So, it is not possible to form triangle with sides of length 3, 4 and 7 units.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when all three sides are given?
If you have the length of each of the three sides of a triangle, you can find the perimeter of (the distance around) the triangle by adding the length of the sides. Their sum will be the perimeter of this geometric shape.
What is a triangle with two sides of equal length?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
Is there a triangle that has one side of length 4 inches one side of 2 inches and one side of length 1 inch?
No because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its 2 shortest sides must be greater than its longest side and from the given dimensions 2+1 is less than 4 and so therefore a triangle is not possible.
Name a triangle with no two sides equal in length?
A Scalene triangle has no sides of equal length.
How do you describe the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle when the other tw sides are given?
The length of the third side must be greater than the difference between the length of the two given sides and it must be less than the sum of the two given sides. These limits can be derived from the fact that any two sides of a triangle must have a combined length greater than the third side.
What is the name for a triangle that has two sides of equal length?
This triangle is called a scalene triangle.
The lengths of the sides of triangle F'G'H' vary directly with the lengths of the corresponding sides of triangle FGH The constant of variation is 2.5 What is the length of side F'G'?
It is 2.5 times the length of FG. Since the latter length is not given, it is not possible to provide a more comprehensive answer.
Is it possible to form a triangle with the given side length 3 4 8?
Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than third side. 3 + 4 = 7 < 8, but 7 is less than 8. So, it is not possible to form triangle with sides of length 3, 4 and 7 units.
Why is it possible to make an isosceles triangle from two identical right angled triangle?
An isosceles triangle is defined as a triangle that has two sides of the same length. With two identical right triangles, it is possible to arrange them into a bigger triangle that has two sides that are the same length.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when all three sides are given?
If you have the length of each of the three sides of a triangle, you can find the perimeter of (the distance around) the triangle by adding the length of the sides. Their sum will be the perimeter of this geometric shape.
What is the name given to a triangle with sides of equal length?
equal lateral
Is it possible to build a triangle with sides length 3 3 3?
No, it is not.
What right triangle has legs of equal length?
It's not possible to have a right angle triangle with sides of equal length. The sides on a right angle triangle are always in the ratio 3:4:5.
Is it possible to draw a equilateral triangle with the sides 8cm 9cm 10cm?
No because the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal in length
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when you only know the length of 2 sides?
Not possible, you need at least the length of two sides and the included angle.
What is a triangle with two sides of equal length?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
