start with the length of 16
Use a compass and from one end draw an arc with radius 8 above the first line, and from the other end draw an arc with radius 10 to intersect your first arc.
Join the intersection of the arcs to the end points of the first line.
There you have it then!
How do I draw an acute scalene triangle with lengths of 8cm, 10cm, and 16cm?

You need a compass, and there's an instructional video: 1) go to Google
2) Search "Constructing A Triangle With 3 Known Sides"
3) Go the the mathisfun .c0 m link and play the video. Good luck.
(I needed to know the same thing and found it, that's why I recommend it if you have no clue what an arc is)
