Any combination is possible provides that the sum of any two sides is always greater than the third.

So, given sides of length x and y, the third side z must be such that


x - y < z < x + y when x > y

and

y - x < z < x + y when x <= y



The sum of the lengths of any pair must be larger than the length of the third side.

Is 56 ft 65 ft 16 ft a triangle?

Yes, the three given lengths will form a triangle. Three lengths can make a triangle if, and only if, the sum of the two shorter lengths is greater than the longest length. The two shorter lengths are 56 ft and 16 ft with a sum of 56 ft + 16 ft = 72 ft 72 ft is greater than 65 ft so 56 ft, 65 ft and 16 ft will make a triangle.

What is the largest angle of a triangle if its sides are 5.8cm by 8.3cm by 14.1cm?

The largest angle is 180&deg; - that is if you consider a straight line a triangle. The three lengths do not make a triangle since 5.8 cm + 8.3 cm = 14.1 cm In other words you have a line segment with two line segments on it and the angle in a straight line is 180&deg;


Is there such thing as a three sided polygon that is NOT a triangle?

No. If you have three pencils of different lengths, or three straws, or something similar, try putting them together with each one touching one end of another to make a closed plane figure. The only way to join them to form a polygon is to make a triangle.

How do you know if you can make more that one triangle?

To determine if you can make more than one triangle with a given set of side lengths, you can use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the remaining side. If the side lengths meet this condition, you can form a triangle, but if the side lengths are the same (like in the case of an equilateral triangle), only one unique triangle can be formed. Additionally, if the angles are not specified and the side lengths allow for different arrangements, multiple triangles may be possible.


Can side lengths 14 15 21 make a right triangle?

By Pythagoras's theorem, to make a right angled triangle, 142 + 152 should be 212 But 142 + 152 = 196 + 225 = 421 whereas 212 = 441 So these three sides cannot make a right angled triangle.
