Question

Is it possible to construct a triangle with sides of lengths 41, 18, and 38? If not, explain why not.

Answer 1

Constructing a triangle

We can construct any triangle if we know some information about it. There are three cases where we can construct it precisely

1. If we know one angle and two sides (SAS)

2. If we know one side and two angles (ASA)

3. If we know its three sides (SSS)

Since we know it sides of lengths: 41, 18, and 38

Answer: yes, we can construct it
