Question

unit exam: geometric figures
listen
use the given conditions to determine the number of possible triangles.
first side length: 5 feet
second side length: 8 feet
third side length: 15 feet
do the given conditions create a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle?
unique triangle
no triangle
more than one triangle

Explanation:

Step1: Apply triangle inequality theorem

Check if \(a + b>c\), \(a + c>b\), and \(b + c>a\) where \(a = 5\), \(b = 8\), \(c=15\).
First, \(a + b=5 + 8=13\). Since \(13<15\) (i.e., \(a + b

Answer:

no triangle
