- Author:
- Jill Alsman, rladage
Adjust sides a, b, and c by dragging the sliders. See if a triangle can be formed.
Give 3 examples of triangles that you were able to form; include different types of triangles and state the 3 side lengths.
Give 3 examples of non-triangles: state the 3 side lengths.
What conclusion can you make about the side lengths necessary to form a triangle? Write a conjecture.
