Best Answer

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.

Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths 15 112 113?

Yes, it is possible.


Can the side lengths of 541 make a triangle?

If you mean side lengths of 5, 4 and 1 then it is not possible to construct any triangle from the given dimensions.


What is history of theodolite?

From geometry, we know that it is possible to calculate unknown lengths and angles of a triangle given particular information regarding the other angles and lengths of the sides of a triangle. For example, given beginning coordinates such as (x,y) in plane coordinates or the latitude and longitude, it is then possible to calculate new coordinates by measuring certain angles and distances (lengths of sides of a triangle).


How do you classify a triangle with 3 given side lengths?

That depends on what the side lengths are. Until the side lengths are known, the triangle can only be classified as a triangle.


What is the area of a figure with lengths of 2 7 and 10?

It is not possible to answer the question without information about the shape. The fact that there are three numbers given might suggest that it is a triangle. However the three lengths are not consistent with a triangle.


Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths 30 32 34?

Yes, it's entirely possible, and quite easy as well.


Could 4 7 7 be side lengths of a triangle?

Yes and the given lengths would form an isosceles triangle.

Given two sides with lengths 34 and 14 which of the following lengths would NOT work for the third side of a triangle?

There are not any following lengths in the question to compare. Using the sizes given, and Pythagorean Theorem, the Hypotenuse of the triangle is 36.76 - which will have to do!


Can 7 40 41 be the side lengths of a right triangle?

No because the given lengths don't comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle 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.
