Question

10)

You are asked to draw a triangle with side lengths of 10 inches, 7 inches, and 2 inches. How many triangles like this can you draw?

Answer 1

Nonre, this would not make a triangle because there is a rule that any two sides of a triangle of added together must be larger than the one that is left over.

Answer 2

None.

No triangle has sides 10, 7, 2.

Because, the third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference of the two sides and less than the sum.

For example 10, 7.

The third , x > (10-7), x < (10+7)

x > 3, x < 17.

2 does not fall within the range, so the triangle of 10, 7, 2 does not exist.
