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.
Can a triangle have a negative side?
The sides of a triangle are its lengths are cannot be negative. However, you could place a triangle on coordinate system and some points where the vertices are could be negative numbers.
What is the difference between a scalene an isosceles and an equilateral triangle?
A scalene triangle has 3 sides of different lengths An isosceles triangle has 2 sides of equal lengths An equilateral triangle has 3 sides of equal lengths
Lengths of a scalene triangle sides?
All three sides have different lengths.
What is a triangle where the sides are different lengths?
A right triangle * * * * * No, it is a scalene triangle.

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.
What set of numbers represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
They are Pythagorean triples
How do you determine if its a triangle by the lengths of the sides?
-- Each number has to be (more than the difference of the other two) but (less than their sum). -- Count the lengths of the sides. If you get to three and then run out of numbers, it's a triangle.
What is the difference between a scalene an isosceles and an equilateral triangle?
A scalene triangle has 3 sides of different lengths An isosceles triangle has 2 sides of equal lengths An equilateral triangle has 3 sides of equal lengths
What are the lengths of the sides of an obtuse triangle?
The 3 sides have different lengths
Lengths of a scalene triangle sides?
All three sides have different lengths.
What are the kinds of triangle according to measure of sides?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in lengths An equilateral triangle has 3 sides all of which are equal in lengths
How is a square and equilateral triangle the same?
A square's sides have equal lengths, and an equilateral triangle's sides also have equal lengths.
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!
What is one way a scalene and equilateral triangle different?
A scalene triangle has sides of different lengths while an equilateral triangle has sides of equal lengths
