How do you determine the length of the third side of a triangle when you only have the lengths of two sides?

If all you have is the length of two sides of a triangle and nothing else, you can find the last side length by going through the Pythagorean Theorem. the formula for the Pythagorean theorem is a squared + b squared = c squared. say the two lengths of the triangle are 3 and 2. to find the hypotenuse, or missing length, you must plug in the numbers. the two missing sides, or legs, are going to be a and b. so your equation would now look like this: 3 squared + 2 squared = c squared. 3 squared = 9, and 2 squared = 4. 9 +4 = 13. so your equation is: 13= c squared. next you would find the square root of 13 (which you would need a calculator) and the answer would be about 3.6. that would be the last length for your 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.
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.
