Yes because the definition of a congruent triangle is a triangle with EVERY side the same length
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8?
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 6 and 8 is: 10
Is it possible to draw a triangle with measures 2cm 9cm and 1cm?
No. The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third.
Can you have a triangle with side lengths of 4 centimeters 8 centimeters and 13 centimeters?
No. The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must always at least slightly exceed the length of the third side, and the given numbers do not conform to this rule.
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?
How can you prove that the is the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle always greater than the length of the third one?
Simply measure them.
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.
When does the combination of lengths form a triangle?
Provide that no one length is greater than the sum of the other two lengths.
Can a triangle be formed with any three side lengths?
No. The sum of any two lengths must be greater than the third length.

Can the sum of two sides of a triangle be equal to the third side?
no it can not be eaual but it can be greater than The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
How do you find if the lengths of a shape make a triangle?
If (and only if) the length of each pair of sides is greater than the third side, then it is possible to make a triangle.
If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides of what kind of triangle?
It would be an obtuse triangle with one angle being greater than 90 degrees.
What are all the possible lengths for the sides of a triangle if the triangle's perimeter is 17 and the lengths of the sides are integers?
The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third so the following eight triangles will do: (1,8,8), (2,7,8), (3,6,8), (3,7,7), (4,5,8), (4,6,7), (5,5,7) and (5,6,6).
