The rule governing the side lengths of triangles is known as the Triangle Inequality Theorem. It states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. This means that if you have sides of lengths (a), (b), and (c), the following inequalities must hold: (a + b > c), (a + c > b), and (b + c > a). If any of these conditions are not met, a triangle cannot be formed.
What else can I help you with?
How do you know if triangles are similar?
If they have the same angles, but different side lengths.
If two triangles have the same side lengths then the triangles are?
They are congruent.
If two triangles are similar are they congruent?
no: if you have two triangles with the same angle measurements, but one has side lengths of 3in, 4in, and 5in and the other has side lengths of 6in, 8in, and 10in, then they are similar. Congruent triangles have the same angle measures AND side lengths.
What are the unknown side lengths in similar triangles PQR and ABC?
In similar triangles PQR and ABC, the corresponding side lengths maintain a constant ratio. To find the unknown side lengths, you can set up a proportion based on the known lengths of the triangles. For example, if you know the lengths of two sides from each triangle, you can solve for the unknowns by cross-multiplying and dividing. Make sure to match corresponding sides correctly to maintain the similarity ratio.
You can build two triangles that have the same side lengths but are not congruent.?
No, triangles with the same side lengths are always congruent.

How many triangles exist with the given side lengths 3in 4in 2in?
How many triangles exist with the given side lengths 3in, 4in, 2in
What conditions will ensure that two isosceles triangles are congruent?
The triangles have the same side lengths.
Do all triangles with same side lengths have the same area?
Only if they are congruent triangles
How do you know that many triangles are possible?
Many triangles are possible due to the varying combinations of side lengths and angles that can be formed while still adhering to the triangle inequality theorem. This theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Additionally, triangles can be classified by their angles (acute, right, obtuse) and sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral), leading to a vast array of unique triangles. Thus, the infinite possibilities of side lengths and angles contribute to the multitude of triangles that can exist.
If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent the corresponding angles are also congruent.?
False. The statement should be: If the corresponding side lengths of two triangles are congruent, and the triangles are similar, then the corresponding angles are also congruent.
What is SAS Congruence Theorem?
The side-angle-side congruence theorem states that if you know that the lengths of two sides of two triangles are congruent and also that the angle between those sides has the same measure in both triangles, then the two triangles are congruent.
Two triangles that have the same side lengths will always be congruent?
True
Are angles measured by their side lengths?
No. Angles don't have anything called a side length. However, one can use trigonometry to compute the angles of a triangle based on the side lengths of the triangle (triangles do have side lengths).
