Question

Which type of triangle, if any, can be formed with sides measuring 8 inches, 8 inches, and three inches??

Answer 1

An u isosoles triangle can

Answer 2

Answer:

we can form an Isosceles triangle using the given measures.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the measure of three sides of a triangle.

a = 8 inches

b = 8 inches

c = 3 inches

Let's check the conditions whether the three measures form a triangle.

To form a triangle, the sum of the measure of two sides greater than the other side.

i) a + b > c

8 + 8 > 5

16>5

True.

ii) b + c > a

8 + 5 >8

13>8

True

iii) c + a > b

5 + 8 > 8

13 > 8

True.

So the given measures form a triangle.

We need to find what kind of a triangle can be formed.

You can see the two measures are the same a = 8 and b = 8.

If the two measures are same in a triangle, then it is called an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, we can form an Isosceles triangle using the given measures.
