The triangle inequality is a fundamental concept in geometry and mathematics. It states that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. If we denote the lengths of the sides of a triangle as a, b, and c, then the triangle inequality can be expressed as three inequalities: a + b > c, a + c > b, and b + c > a. This property is crucial for determining whether three given lengths can form a valid triangle. If any of these inequalities are not satisfied, then a triangle cannot be formed with those side lengths. For example, if the sides were 2, 3, and 6, then 2 + 3 = 5, which is not greater than 6, so these lengths cannot form a triangle. The triangle inequality also has broader applications in various fields of mathematics, including metric spaces and functional analysis, where it is generalized to define distances and norms. In these contexts, it ensures that a distance function or a norm satisfies the basic properties of a metric.
