How can you tell whether three line segments will form a triangle?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
If any one of them is longer than or equal to the sum of the other two, they can't form a triangle. If the lengths of the line segments are a, b and c, they form a triangle iff:
a + b > c
a + c > b
b + c > a

Could the segments 6 5 8 form a triangle?
true
Could the segments 7 6 and 9 form a triangle?
Yes.
Can segments 7 8 and 12 form a triangle?
Those segments can form a triangle because the two smallest sides, 7 and 8, add together to make 15, which is greater than the longest side, 12.
Can segments 5 8 14 form a triangle?
No. 5+8 = 13 < 14 Any two sides of a triangle must add to more than the third side.
Can any three angles form a triangle?
No. In order for three angles to form a triangle, they must collectively add up to 180 degrees (or pi radians).
Which set of three segments can form a triangle?
seriously?
what segments can form a triangle?
any three that connect
What line segments can form a triangle?
any three that connect
Could the segments 7 1 7 form a triangle?
Yes. What you should watch out for is that, to form a triangle, none of the segments should be longer (or as long as) the other two segments combined. Just check whether the longest segment is longer than the sum of the other two - if it is, then you can't form a triangle.
Can the segments 9 9 1 form a triangle?
Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
Can the segments 9 9 and 1 form a triangle?
Yes the given segments would form an isosceles triangle
Could segments 1 8 8 form a triangle?
No, segments 1, 8, and 8 cannot form a triangle. In order for three segments to form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, 1 + 8 is equal to 9, which is not greater than 8. Therefore, a triangle cannot be formed.
What angle is the bisector of the triangle formed by segments 32-14 and 07-25.?
Two segments cannot form a triangle.
How can you tell whether four line segments will form a quadrilateral?
Four line segments can always form a quadrilateral, as long as none of them is longer than the sum of the lengths of the other three,
How does a triangle form?
a triangle is formed by line segments that connect two non-collinear points
Could the segments 6 5 8 form a triangle?
true
Could the segments 2 2 5 form a triangle?
Yes
