If any of its 2 sides is not greater than its third in length then a triangle can't be formed.

What set of numbers represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
They are Pythagorean triples
Which set of values could be the side lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle?
3, 4 and 5 units of length
Which set of numbers represent the sides of a right angle triangle?
They are Pythagorean triples
How could you determine if a set of three numbers defines a right triangle?
If they are a Pythagorean triple then they will form a right angle triangle
What shape has 2 opposite sides parallel?
Any shape that is not a triangle may have 2 parallel sides, although regular polygons only have parallel sides when the number of sides is even. For a quadrilateral, a trapezoid(UK trapezium) has 1 set of parallel sides and a parallelogram (either a rhombus, rectangle, or square) has 2 sets of parallel sides.
What set of numbers represents the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
They are Pythagorean triples
Can the set of lengths be the side lengths of a right triangle 7ft 12ft 17ft?
No because the given sides do not comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Which set of numbers can not represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
There are lots of sets of numbers that fit that definition! But the important thing to remember about triangles is the Third Side Rule, or the Triangle Inequality, which states: the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides. So you can have a triangle with sides of 3, 4 and 5 because 3 < 4 + 5, 4 < 3 + 5 and 5 < 3 + 4; and because 3 > 5 - 4, 4 > 5 - 3 and 5 > 4 - 3. But you can't have a triangle with sides 1, 2 and 8, for example. Just imagine three pieces of wood or three straws with lengths 1, 2 and 8. Put the longest piece, 8, horizontally on the table. Then put the other two, one at each end of the longest piece. Could those two shorter sides ever meet to form a triangle? No, never!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The length is always positive, so that all real positive numbers can represent the length of sides of a triangle: {x| x > 0}.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Whoever added that to my answer, sorry, I beg to differ! The question asked what SET of numbers cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle. There are infinite possibilities for that. While the lengths are always a set of real positive numbers, not every possible set of real positive numbers is a potential set of numbers that represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle!
What set of lengths can be used to make a triangle?
There are many lengths that can be used to make triangles. Basically take the longest side, add the two shorter sides together, it can be a triangle as long as the 2 shorter sides added together are longer than the longest side.
What is Pythagoras triplet?
It's a set of three numbers that could be the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. In order for them to work that way, the squares of the two smaller ones have to add up to the square of the largest one.
Would the following set of sides build a triangle 4 4 5?
Yes. If the sum of the length of the two smaller sides are greater than the length of the larger side and none of the lengths of any of the sides equals 0, then it is a triangle. It is not, however, an equilateral triangle or right triangle (that would be 5, 4, 3), though it is an isosceles triangle.
What set of measures could represent the lengths of the sides of a right angle?
3,4,5 and 5,12,13 are two possibilities.
Which set of side lengths cannot form a triangle?
1.5m
Which set of numbers represent the side lengths of an obtuse triangle?
Those ones, there!
Which set of numbers could be the sides of a right triangle?
They are call Pythagorean triples as for example 3, 4 and 5
How many examples are in a triangle shapes set?
Infinitely many. The smallest side of a triangle can have infinitely many possible lengths.
What is the 6-8-10 measurement?
There is not enough information in the question to be sure what it is about. However, one possibility is that, since it is a Pythagorean triplet, it is a set of numbers such that a triangle with sides of thhose lengths will be right angled.
