This sheet explores which triangles are possible or impossible to construct when given three side lengths. Students will practise using compasses and ruler to construct side-side-side triangles and also think about generalising so that the problem can be solved without drawing. This worksheet is based on a past SAT question.

Good resource to make students think around what lengths make a triangle. First part might be best done as a group activity to get it done faster and to discuss answers. Perhaps give out the bottom part of the sheet to groups who have reached logical conclusion.
Great for challenging my top set Y9 class. Thanks
A nice resource to get pupils constructing triangles with a ruler, pencil and compass. Thanks for sharing :-)
