5­5 The Triangle Inequality

Learning Targets:I can use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to identify possible         trianglesI can prove triangle relationships using the Triangle Inequality     Theorem

What are the lengths of the three scraps from each attempt?

What is the sum of the two shorter lengths for each attempt?

How does the sum compare to the third scrap in each attempt?

Use this information to make a conjecture about the relationships between the two shorter sides and the third side of a triangle.

To show that three lengths will not make a triangle, just show that one of the inequalities is not true.

Example 1:

Is it possible to form a triangle with the given side lengths? If not, explain why not.

1. 6 1/2, 6 1/2, 14 1/2 2. 6.8, 7.2, 5.1

3. 15 yd, 16 yd, 30 yd 4. 2 ft, 8 ft, 11 ft

Dec 30­12:50 PM

When given only 2 lengths for a triangle, use the inequality theorem to set up inequalities to solve possible third side lengths.
