Side AB
Side BC
Side AC
Cannot be determined
2. Which of the following sets of side lengths CANNOT form a triangle?
3, 4, 5
6, 7, 10
2, 3, 6
5, 5, 5
3. In a triangle, the side opposite the largest angle is the side.
4. The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be than the length of the third side.
5. Consider a triangle with side lengths 8 cm and 15 cm. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side?
6. If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are also congruent.
True
False
7. In triangle XYZ, angle X = (3x + 10)°, angle Y = (2x - 5)°, and angle Z = (x + 15)°. Determine the measure of each angle and then order the sides from shortest to longest.
