However, 10 + 5 > 16 Triangle Inequality Theorem Can 16, 10, and 5 be the measures of the sides of a triangle? 16 + 10 > 5 No! 16 + 5 > 10
If two sides of a triangle are 7 & 13, between what two numbers must the third side be? -if 13 is the largest side then the smallest side had to be > 6 (13 < 7 + ? ) -If 7 & 13 are the 2 smaller sides, the 3rd side has to be < 20 (? < 13 + 7 ) Answer: the 3rd side is between 6 and 20. Example: Triangle Inequality
Example Four:Finding Possible Side Lengths • A triangle has sides of lengths 8 and 10. Describe the lengths of the third side. • Let x represent the third side.
