Question

How many unique triangles can be drawn with side lengths 8 in., 12 in., and 24 in.? Explain.

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

To figure this out, you must use the triangle inequality theorem. It says that the sum of 2 sides of the triangle should be more than the third side. If you add 8 and 12, you get less than 24 but if you add 12 and 24 or 8 and 24, you will get more. So, there are only 2 triangles! I hope this helps!
