Exploring Triangle Side Lengths
Share

Description

In this quick activity, students use Geogebra and a self-checking Google Sheets page to explore whether or not any three combinations of side lengths will create a triangle. This activity lends itself well to self-discovery of the Triangle Side Length Theorem, which states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

This resource, if shared with students via Google Classroom, works best with the "Make a copy for each student" option. It makes a fantastic quick warm up. You could also use the Google Form with some hand held manipulatives to physically build the triangles, too.

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.
