Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.
Use the GeoGebra applet to explore possible (and impossible) triangle side length combinations.
Consider when three given side lengths can form a triangle and when they cannot.
HINT: The applet may also be useful for modeling and completing the Solve It! item that follows.
