The following set of numbers 2√3, 4√2, and 3√5, can be the measures of the sides of an obtuse triangle.
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three vertices.
To know if a set of number is a valid measure of the sides of a triangle, it must follow the Triangle Inequality Theorem which states that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side, such that a + b > c, a + c > b, and b + c > a.
let a = 2√3, b = 4√2, and c = 3√5
a + b > c 2√3 + 4√2 > 3√5 9.12 > 6.71 True
a + c > b 2√3 + 3√5 > 4√2 10.17 > 5.66 True
b + c > a 4√2 + 3√5 > 2√3 12.37 > 3.46 True
To know what type of triangle based on the length of its side:
1. Take the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides.
(2√3)^2 + (4√2)^2 = 44
2. Compare it to the square of the largest side.
(3√5)^2 = 45
44 < 45
If the sum of the squares of the 2 is larger than the square of the 3rd, it is an acute triangle.
if they are equal, it is a right triangle
if they are smaller, then it is an obtuse triangle.
Hence, 2√3, 4√2, and 3√5 can be the measure of the sides of an obtuse triangle.
