Question

Three sides are given: Use side lengths 6 cm, 6 cm, and 4 cm. How many different

triangles can you make?

Answer 1

Exactly one triangle of the dimensions 6cm, 6cm and 4cm.

Explanation:

Given the dimensions of the triangle as 6cm, 6 cm, and 4 cm

-We notice this is an isosceles triangle since it has two equal sides.

-A triangle is a two dimensional figure with fixed dimensions.

-Since, the sides are fixed, we cannot fragment its dimensions to form longer or shorter sides.

-Hence, only one triangle can be made from the dimensions 6cm, 6cm and 4cm.
