Let’s Create
Suppose you have a stick which is exactly 16 feet. How many different triangles can you
make?
(Hint: If t, r, and g, represent the length of the three sides, then t + r + g = 16. Also, we know
t + r > g, t + g > r, and r + g > t.)
Make a table of all values of t, r, and g that satisfy t + r + g = 16. Then Check each possible
combination with the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
