Question

Given the following three measures of angles or sides, determine if it is possible to construct a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle. sides 5 inches, 8 inches, and 15 inches

Answer 1

No triangle

Explanation:

5+8 =13 13 =15 13 isnt bigger than 15 so its not a triangle

Answer 2

Simple, to form a triangle, the two SMALLEST sides when added together should be BIGGER than the longest side.

So, 5 inches, 8 inches, and 15 inches.

5+8=13

13=15

Since 13 is not bigger than 15; your answer is, it does not form a triangle.
