Making triangles
Students study the concept of triangle inequality, which determines if three positive numbers can serve as the side lengths of a triangle. This principle states that a triangle is possible if the largest of the three numbers is smaller than the sum of the other two. To explore this, students experiment with various combinations of three natural numbers.
