Determine whether it is possible to draw a triangle with sides having the given measures. If possible, write yes. If not possible write no and make a sketch demonstrating why it isn’t possible

Answer: No, it is not possible to form a triangle with these side lengths.

The sketch is provided below

==========================================================

Explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem says that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the third side.

But notice that 5+6 = 11 which is not larger than 12.

I recommend cutting out slips of paper that are 5 inches, 6 inches and 12 inches long. You can also use software to get the job done, which is what I did. You should see that it is impossible to form a triangle. If you place the 5 inch and 6 inch slips on either end of the 12 inch portion, then you should see the we effectively have an open-ended "triangle". I'm putting it in quotes because we don't have a triangle forming, but instead what looks to be an incomplete version of it.

The sketch of what I'm referring to is shown below. I used Geogebra to make the drawing. Imagine the red and blue segments able to swing freely while the green horizontal segment stays completely still. No matter how the red and blue segments rotate, they will never meet up to form a triangle.

The dashed circles show the range of motion that is possible for each swinging red and blue segment. If the red and blue segments lay perfectly on top of the green segment, they add to 5+6 = 11, which comes up short of the 12 inch segment.

No, it is not possible to draw a triangle with sides measuring 5ft, 6ft, and 12ft.

The polygon known as a triangle has three sides and three vertices.

The triangle's total angle is 180 degrees.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

The reason is that according to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

However, in this case, 5ft + 6ft = 11ft, which is less than the length of the third side, 12ft.

Therefore, a triangle cannot be formed with these side lengths.

To demonstrate why it isn't possible, you can draw a line segment of length 12ft and label it as the third side of the triangle.

Then, try to draw the other two sides (5ft and 6ft) originating from the same endpoint as the 12ft side.

You will notice that the two sides will never meet to form a triangle, since they are too short to bridge the gap between the two endpoints of the 12ft side.
