An example would be the edges of my Christmas tree star because if the measurements were inaccurate, then the points of the star wouldn't form proper triangles. Also, my triangular shaped notebook wouldn't be a triangle if its measurements didn't suit the triangle inequality theorem.

An example of a triangle in "real life" would include a hanger, which often would be in the shape of a triangle. If it's not properly shaped, then the article of clothing wouldn't hang properly.

Another example of the triangle inequality theorem is the Nepalese Flag which consists of two triangles of different sizes together. In these triangles, if the triangle did not follow the Triangle Inequality theorem, then the two smaller sides would not be able to reach the 3rd, largest side.

The roofs of many houses are shaped like triangles.If the roof did not follow the triangle inequality, it would be very difficult to create a roof that allows the best support for the house in the different seasons. Snow would cave into the house and many other incidents could happen because of the shape of the roof.

The triangular highlighter I have forms a triangle because I measured each side to be about 7 centimeters and that would mean it would be a triangle.

triangles are used in many buildings as well. the new twin towers are made up of 8 rotated triangles. if they didn't follow the triangle inequality theorem, then the triangles wouldn't fit so perfectly and the whole building may collapse because it will lack structure and stability.

The rack for a pool table is an equilateral triangle. Because of the triangle inequality theorem, the billiard balls will stay in place and won't move even when the rack is taken off. If the rack didn't follow the triangle inequality theorem, the balls would keep bouncing and not stay in one place, which makes it hard to start the game.

I don't know if virtual things count, but the YouTube symbol is a triangle that we probably see everyday. If the sides or angles of the YouTube symbol were off, then it wouldn't be the well known icon we have today and wouldn't look like the play button. If this virtual example doesn't count, then there are many other examples such as triangle shaped lego pieces. If the sides were off, then the piece wouldn't be able to fit properly on the other lego pieces.

a slice of pizza or a slice of a cake are both triangle. if they did not follow the ineuqaality theorom they would impossible to shape in the first place and woudld not be triangle making it an akward shape. :)

Triangles can be seen in the construction of bridges. They must follow all the laws of triangles because otherwise they would not be able to support amounts of weight.

in real life, you can see triangles in boats. the sails must form triangles to maximize the use of the wind. If it was not a triangle, then it would not be able to move as well as it could.

Looking at a pyramid from the side, a triangle can be found. The side face must be in the shape of a triangle or it would not form the three-dimensional shape of a pyramid.

All triangles must follow the triangle inequality theorem, even those outside of the pages of our math book. For instance, a sandwich cut across diagonally results in a triangle. If this half of a sandwich did not follow the triangle inequality theorem, the side lengths would be inaccurate. That makes this theorem very important. Especially for people who love sandwiches (preferably peanut butter and jelly) - like me!!!!

Though there aren't many perfect triangles that are naturally occurring, a few landscape rocks can be triangularly shaped.

An example could be Nepal's flag. It is cut out with 2 triangles at the end, and the theorem makes the triangles connect.

There are many triangle in the real life outside of just our math book. We see triangles while driving many of the signs are triangles. they have to follow the theorem or else the sign won't stand up itself.

An example of a triangle in real life is the triangular measurement tool used in tech. If it did not follow the triangle inequality theorem, then it would be impossible to draw proper lines using it.

An example of a triangle would be the top view of a binder that can close completely. If the theorem didn't come into play, the binder would vary a lot in terms of its looks. Another example would be Another example would be a pyramid because if the sides weren't equivalent and the theorem didn't come into play, the pyramid would probably be slanted and collapse due to its weird shape.

Truss bridges are a great example of this. Without knowledge of this inequality, some bridges would have unrealistic dimensions due to costs, therefore making bridges less frequent

an example is when my house was being built last summer. the roof is an isosceles triangle, so that both sides of the house is equal length and the house isnt bigger on one side. to do this they had to make the two base corners equal to each other. this allowed my house's roof to be just the right size.

A triangle in real life is the v-neck on a shirt if you draw an auxillary line from the two end of the coluors of the shirt. If two sides were less than an other, or in this case the two coluors were less than the auzillary line, the shirt might be too lose and fall off. Also, if the triangle inequality didn't work the shirt will look ugly and feel uncomfortable since it is uneven. Comments are closed.
