Theorem of Triangle Inequality
Exploration
1. Draw different types of triangles. Move the sliders to adjust the length of each segment. Move the points A, B and C to form a triangle.
2. Calculate the sum of length of two sides of the triangle and compare the value with the length of the third side
3. What can you conclude?
4. Next, determine 3 lengths of a triangle. Use the sliders to set the lengths. Try moving the points A, B and C to form a triangle.
5. What can you conclude?
