ACTIVITY 3: TRIANGLE INEQUALITY
Question 1:
Ancient Greece used the catapult as the
chief weapon in siege warfare. They first
used the catapult in battle in 399 BC during
the same time when the Chinese invented
the mangonel in the 4th century.
Refer to the image at the right. If the two
ropes are 5 feet long each, what is the range
of possible distance between the ropes?
Question 2:
̅̅̅̅ in ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶. ___________
Name the opposite angle of 𝐵𝐶
Choose the correct value of x in ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 without using the
Pythagorean theorem: 14, 16 or 20. Explain how you arrived at
your answer. ___________________________________
Question 3:
Peter wants to construct a triangular picture frame. He has two barbeque sticks with
measures 12 cm and 20 cm. How many possible triangular picture frame can he
make, if the third side has integral length? ____________________________
Question 4:
A copper wire that is 14 meters long is cut into pieces of integral lengths. The pieces
are to be welded together to construct a triangle. Of all the possible solutions, what
could be the length of the shortest piece? _________________________________
Question 5:
In quadrilateral EROS, ER = 8 cm, RO = 12 cm, OS = 14 cm, and ES = 9cm. What is
the range of the possible length of EO? ___________________________________
