In this engaging Honors Geometry activity, students utilized a variety of lengths of pipe cleaners to explore the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Each student selected a combination of three pipe cleaners from six different lengths to form a triangle with them. Through hands-on experimentation, they discovered that a triangle could only be formed if the sum of the lengths of any two sides was greater than the length of the third side. This practical application allowed students to deepen their understanding of geometric principles while fostering critical thinking and collaborative discussion as they shared their findings and tested various combinations.
