Q:What’s the problem with this?
A: The shorter segments can’t reach each other to complete the triangle. They don’t add up.
Make A Triangle

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Triangle Inequality Conjecture
Add the two smallest sides; they MUST be larger than the third side
for the triangle to be formed.
![Page 22: Lesson 4.3 – Triangle inequalities & Exterior Angles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568156d9550346895dc47976/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TRIANGLE INEQUALITY CONJECTURE
Given any triangle, if a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides, the following is always true:
a + b > ca + c > bb + c > a
The triangle inequality theorem is very useful when one needs to determine if any 3 given
sides will form of a triangle or not.
In other words, if the 3 conditions above are not met, you can immediately conclude that it is not
a triangle.
![Page 23: Lesson 4.3 – Triangle inequalities & Exterior Angles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568156d9550346895dc47976/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EXAMPLEThree segments have lengths: a= 3 cm, b= 6 cm, and c = 4 cm.Can a triangle be formed with these measures?
3 + 6 = 9 and 9 > 4
3 + 4 = 7 and 7 > 66 + 4 = 10 and 10 > 3So a triangle can be formed!
![Page 24: Lesson 4.3 – Triangle inequalities & Exterior Angles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568156d9550346895dc47976/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
EXAMPLEThree segments have lengths: a= 7 cm, b= 16 cm, and c = 8 cm. Can a triangle be formed with these measures?
7 + 16 = 23 and 23 > 8
7 + 8 = 15 , but 15 < 16. This condition is not met because the sum of these two sides is smaller than the third side
16 + 8 = 24 and 24 > 7Since one of the conditions is not met, a triangle cannot be formed.
![Page 25: Lesson 4.3 – Triangle inequalities & Exterior Angles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568156d9550346895dc47976/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SIMPLY:
If the two smallest side measures do not add up to be greater than the largest side, then the sides do not make a triangle!
If the two smallest side measures add up to be greater than the
largest side, then the sides make a triangle!

In a triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle; and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.
Side-Angle Conjecture
Side AB is the shortest, because it's across from the smallest angle (40 degrees). Also, the side BC is
the longest because it is across from the largest angle (80 degrees).
