1.Move the slider to make side3 become larger or smaller. Using the move arrow, create a triangle.
2. Answer these questions on your homework. What is the smallest your side3 can be and still make a triangle?
3. Move the slider to make side3 be as large as possible. Is it possible to make a triangle with side3 that large?
4. What is the biggest you can make your side3 so you can still make a triangle?
5. Google the Triangle Inequality Theorem and explain it in your own words for this problem on your homework.
