- Triangle side length
The sizes of the sides of a triangle are three natural numbers. The two shorter sides have lengths a = 7 cm and b = 9 cm. What size will the third side be if we want the triangle to have the largest possible perimeter? - Six segmants
Given are 6 line segments with lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm. How many equilateral triangles can make from them? List all the options. - Isosceles triangle construction
There are six lines 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm long, two of each length. How many isosceles triangles can be constructed from them? List all options. - Triangle probability
From the numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, three are chosen at random. What is the probability that the three chosen numbers can form the sides of a scalene triangle? - Exist triangle
Which of the following set of numbers could not represent the three sides of a triangle A. 13,22,34 B. 8,20,30 C. 10,14,23 D. 15,25,37 - Triangle Side Lengths Probability
We have the numbers 4, 6, 9, 13, and 15. What is the probability that these will be the lengths of the sides of the triangle? (Consider only scalene triangles.) - Draw a triangle
We have line segments with lengths of 3 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, and 9 cm. What is the probability in % that if I randomly select three of them, I will be able to draw a triangle? - Triangles
Five sticks with a length of 2,3,4,5,6 cm. How many ways can you choose three sticks to form three sides of a triangle? - Right triangles
How many right triangles we can construct from line segments 3,4,5,6,8,10,12,13,15,17 cm long? (Do not forget the triangle inequality). - Triangle side possibilities Which three lines of a given length can be three sides of a triangle? A / 42 mm; 22 mm; 12 mm; B / 5 cm, 50 mm, 6 cm; C / 10 m, 5 m, 50 dm; D / 2.1 cm, 4.2 cm, 1.9 cm
- Triangle from sticks
Bob the boulder has many sticks of lengths 3.5 and 7. He wants to form triangles, each of whose edges consists of exactly one stick. How many non-congruent triangles can be formed with the sticks? - Sin cos tan
In right triangle ABC with a right angle at B, the sides are |AB| = 7 cm, |BC| = 5 cm, and |AC| = 8.6 cm. Find to two decimal places: A. sin C B. cos C C. tan C - A chord
In a circle radius of 6 cm, a chord is drawn 3 cm from the center. Calculate the angle subtended by the chord at the center of the circle. Hence find the length of the minor arc cut off by the chord. - Triangle
In triangle ABC, point S is the incentre (centre of the inscribed circle). The area of quadrilateral ABCS equals four-fifths of the area of triangle ABC. The side lengths of triangle ABC are all integers expressed in centimetres, and the perimeter of tria - Triangle
Determine whether we can make a triangle with the given side lengths. If so, use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle. a = 119 b = 170 c = 130 - Triangles
Hannah cut 20 cm straws into three pieces. Each piece had an integer length in centimetres. She then tried to form a triangle from the three pieces. a) What is the perimeter of each such triangle? b) What is the maximum possible length of the longest side - 14 sticks
I was cleaning up my attic recently and found a set of at least 14 sticks which a curious Italian sold me some years ago. Trying hard to figure out why I bought it from him, I realized that the set has the incredible property that there are no three stick - Probability - triangles
We have five lines with lengths of 3 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, 9 cm, and 11 cm. What is the probability that we will be able to construct a triangle with randomly selected three? - Triangle circumference puzzle
Christina chose a certain odd natural number divisible by three. Jacob and David then examined triangles with a perimeter in millimeters equal to the number selected by Christina and whose sides have lengths in millimeters expressed by different integers. - Triangles - combinations
