How does the Triangle Inequality Calculator work?

This calculator displays 2 scenarios
1) Enter 3 sides of a triangle, and it will determine if the side lengths satisfy the properties of the triangle inequality and form a triangle
2) Enter 2 sides of a triangle, and this will determine an acceptable range for the length of the 3rd side of a triangle so that the 3rd side respects the Triangle Inequality.
This calculator has 3 inputs.

What 2 formulas are used for the Triangle Inequality Calculator?

  1. Sum up two sides of the triangle. They must be greater than the 3rd side
  2. The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than or equal to the third side
