Illustrating Triangle Inequality In the science laboratory the students

Theorem 3 (𝑆1 + 𝑆2 > 𝑆3) had an experiment. The experiment they
will do is about making a Diorama of a
bridge. Their teacher gave them a task to
At the end of the lesson, the students are make different sizes of triangles for the
expected to: bridge support, listing the size of each
side of the triangle so that their teacher
1.State and identify Triangle Inequality could cut it.
Theorem 3 (𝑆1 + 𝑆2 > 𝑆3): The measurements they chose for each
2.Solve the measures of Triangle side of the triangle were (5,8,11), (9,4,3)
Inequality Theorem 3: and and (11,30,19). They didn't think about
the measurements and just listed them.
3.Appreciate the importance of Triangle
Inequality Theorem 3 (𝑆1 + 𝑆2 > 𝑆3) in
real life situation
Lets check if the listed measure of a
trinagle is suit to the triangle inequality
TRIANGLE INEQUALITY THEOREM theorem.
Triangle inequality theorem states that
the sum of lengths of any two sides of a
triangle is greater than the length of the a. (5,8,11)
third side. 5+8 > 11 → 13 > 11 true
8+11 > 5 → 17 > 5 true
5+11 > 8 → 16 > 8 true
Example:
b. (9,4,3)
9+4 > 3 → 13 > 3 true
4+3 > 9 → 7 > 9 false
3 5
9+3 > 4 → 12 > 4 true

c. (11,30,19)
4 11+ 30 > 19 → 41 > 19 true
30 +19 > 11 → 49 > 11 true
11+19 > 30 → 30 > 30 false
When we add 2 sides of a triangle it
should be greaterthan to 3rd side. So among the listed measurement of
a triangle only (5,8,11) can build a
3+4 > 5 → 7 > 5 true triangle.
4+5 > 3 → 9 > 3 true
3+5 > 4 → 8 > 4 true

Another example:
 GRADE8 MATHQ4W2

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 3 * Strip 3: ? (cm)

and 4. What are the possible lengths of
the third side?
{10,15,x}

{3,4,x}
15-10< x < 10+15
5<x<25
Difference Sum of
of two two
lengths
< X < lengths

4-3 < x < 4+3

1<x<7

All number between 1 and 7 is possible

lengths of third side.

Physics of Fun: Triangle Launch!

Mr. Santos is teaching his physics class

at Marikina Science High School about
projectile motion. Today, they'll be
launching model rockets! But before they
launch, they need to ensure their rockets
are stable.

Imagine you're building a simple

triangular rocket fin using sturdy
cardboard. You have three strips of
cardboard with the following lengths:

* Strip 1: 10 centimeters (cm)

* Strip 2: 15 centimeters (cm)
