To determine if a group of side measures will form a triangle, we use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, the side measures are 8, 1, and 7.
We need to check if the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side:
1. 1 + 7 = 8, which is equal to the third side 8. Therefore, this group of side measures will NOT form a triangle because the sum of two sides is equal to the third side.
So, the side measures of 8, 1, and 7 will NOT form a triangle.
Apply the triangle in quality the room and determine which group of side measures will form a triangle. is the answer 8 ,1 and ,7?
