What is Right Scalene?

200

Can you form this triangle? Why or why not?

A triangle with sides:

5.5 ft, 11.8 ft, 13.2 ft

YES, because 5.5 + 11.8 > 13.2

200

If a triangle has all side lengths that measure whole numbers, what is the smallest length of the missing side?

_______ inches, 7 inches, 15 inches

9 inches

I am a triangle with two congruent sides and two 36 degree angles.

Obtuse Isosceles

300

Can you form this triangle? Why or why not?

A triangle with angles:

40 degrees, 50 degrees, 90 degrees

Yes, because 40 + 50 + 90 = 180 degrees.

300

300

I am a triangle with a 104 degree angle and 3 different length sides.

Obtuse Scalene

400

Can you form this triangle? Why or why not?

A triangles with sides:

10 INCHES, 1 INCH, 12 INCHES

No, because 10 + 1 < 12

400

What is the range of the third side of a triangle? Write your answer as an inequality.

_________ inches, 11.8 inches, 3.8 inches

8 < x < 15.6

Equilateral or Equiangular

500

Can you form this triangle? Why or why not?

A triangle with sides:

2 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft

NO, because 2 + 4 = 6

500
What is the range of the length of the third side? Write your answer as an inequality.
