Use The Triangle Inequality Theorem to Determine Possible Triangles

TEKS Math: 6.8.A

(A) Extend previous knowledge of triangles and their properties to include the sum of angles of a triangle, the relationship between the lengths of sides and measures of angles in a triangle, and determining when three lengths form a triangle

AU Math: ACMMG165

(Y7) Classify triangles according to their side and angle properties and describe quadrilaterals (ACMMG165)

CCSS Math: 7.G.2

7.G.2 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.

This math lesson teaches students how to use the Triangle Inequality theorem to determine the possible range of values for an unknown side of a triangle. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will calculate the sum and difference of the two known sides of the triangle and recognize that the unknown side must have a value between the two. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and nine pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
