Answer:
See attachment for triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Side\ 1 =24[/tex]
[tex]Side\ 2 =17[/tex]
[tex]Side\ 3 =9[/tex]
Required
Draw a triangle that represent the given sides
No template is given. So, I will draw the triangle from scratch
But first, we check if the given sides are valid for a triangle (using triangle inequality theorem).
This states that:
[tex]Side\ 1 + Side\ 2 > Side\ 3[/tex]
[tex]Side\ 3 + Side\ 2 > Side\ 1[/tex]
[tex]Side\ 1 + Side\ 3 > Side\ 2[/tex]
All three inequalities must be true.
Substitute values of each side in the three inequalities
[tex]24 + 17 > 9[/tex] --- True
[tex]9 + 17 > 24[/tex] --- True
[tex]24 + 9 > 17[/tex] --- True
Since the sides are valid, then the triangle can be drawn (See attachment for triangle)
