What is this shape called? MOST will answer WRONG! 

since 6+4 < 11 it is no triangle

It's a transtriangle. 11 identifies as 7.21 today.

For a triangle, sum of any two sides must exceed third, so d.

Three line segments can not make a triangle because the sum of two lengths, 6+4=10, needs to be longer than the remaining, 11, length. NO TRIANGLE

"The only possible answer is "Not drawn to scale." If you accept the three measurements, but take the apparent angles to be incorrect, the two sides that appear to meet at a right angle do not actually meet. So, even though it is not drawn, a line can be drawn that connects their "floating" endpoints. It most likely completes a quadrilateral, but could be co-linear with either of the two sides, making a triangle of any type.

For a right triangle the sum of the square of the sides have to equal the square of the hypothenuse, therefore this is not a triangle. 4 square+6 square = 52 Hypothenuse=11 11 square=121 52 different from 121

Doesn't fit A² + B² = C² Pythagorean's theorem

Quite simple to solve: just turn the 4-size side down next to the 6-size side and you have a 10-size length. So it is not possible to make a triangle out of this with 11-size: answer D

What this quite obviously is, is a simple typo. The figure is quite obviously a correctly proportioned right triangle but the length of the hippopotamus was entered incorrectly. It should be ~7.2 units.

2:51 "Quada-lada"😂

If “The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” is true, and it is, then the solution to this problem is obvious. Since one combination of distances fails to meet this standard (11 is greater than 4+6), these three lines cannot meet in a triangle. I realize that this application of logic does not meet mathematical standards in that it doesn’t automatically differentiate between right and acute triangles.

What is this shape called? Well, looking at the "Shape", it's definitely a Triangle (a 3 sided polygon). But, if the 3 numbers (4, 6, 11) next to the sides of the shape (again, triangle) are supposed to indicate the length of each of the sides, then taken together, these 3 lengths are impossible for a triangle. So, to answer the question, "What is this shape called?", it's a Triangle. A triangle with mislabeled side lengths, but a shape in the form of a triangle none the less. On the other hand, a shape with side lengths of (4, 6, 11) cannot be arranged to form a closed shape like a triangle. So, I expect that this is a "Trick" question, and the "desired" answer is "d) No triangle."

D0 No Triangle. 6+4=10, which wouldn't reach 11. So it can't look like the visualization.

Can you please answer the question: What is this? The only thing you write about is what it is not. But that was not the question. Or do you find it correct to answer a question like "what is 8+9 ?" with "not 14"? Because that is what you do.

B. Right triangle

D Hypotenuse longer than sum of sided - cannot connect ends to form a triangle.

My answer would have been B but I looked at it again. Good trigonometry question

Good question, and I got it right, but it should probably be asked verbally instead of using a diagram. "What polygon has three sides with lengths of 4, 6, and 11?" And then the choices should not include "no triangle". I think it should just be "none of the above". Also don't include "quadrilateral" since that would be possible with a _fourth_ side. If you want "quadrilateral" among the choices, make sure the question reads, "...three (and only three) sides."

Looks like a projection of a triangle (a shape with three corners) from a curved manifold onto a flat plane. What type depends on the nature of the manifold.

The hypotenuse length is too long to join the 4 and 6 sides, so I’ve got to say it is not a triangle.

It could be one of two things: A right triangle with some random numbers written by it (which obviously aren't the actual lengths of the sides; because it wouldn't make any sense that way) or...it's a triangle on a curved surface, like a convex or concave hemisphere. In which case those lengths might work. Or Mr. RU-vid Math Man is trying to pull a fast one on us and it's just "No Triangle."

It has three angles....

It is No triangle… by the side lengths. It’s not even possible. It is a right angle triangle if only considering the sketch and not the numbers.

Very simple : this is a right triangle where 11 people vote on the internet that the hypothenuse is the cutest side. But they are wrong ! (Hence the video caption that most people will answer wrong) It the vertical side that is the cutest so you should add one vote to the vertical side .... and that is my flat answer.

Using trig it appears to be b) but it does'nt obey pythagoras so d)

E a line. I foolishly did 36 +16

An example of the triangle theorem.

The answer is "d". 'No triangle'. The slope, R = 11, can not equal the square root of 6 squared + 4 square. R must = 7.211025....

D 7.211

Not a right triangle as proven by the fact that 6^2 + 4^2 does not equal 11^2 ( Pythagorean theorem) . And it can't be an acute triangle as it does not satisfy a^2+b^2>c^2, b^2+c^2>a^2, and c^2+a^2>b^2. It also can't be a quadrilateral as it does not have 4 sides, Therefore, only the answer D "No Triangle" can be the correct answer.

Thanks!

Right triangle

I am pleased at myself, I knew that could not exist as a triangle just from the thumbnail.

I get that it is not possible to have a triangle with these side lengths but it just feels wrong to draw a triangle and then say it is not one.

Acute triangle.

d) No triangle

11+6=17< 4 11+4=15 11

I thought that a triangle with three sides of different length was called a scalene triangle! I could tell that the sides were of different length.

d) no triangle

Acute triangle

The picture of a triangle has the lengths of its sides incorrectly labeled. If the 4 and 6 sides were laid end to end they would not be long enough to connect with the end points of the line labeled 11.

Shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line. The straight line side can't be greater than the other 2 sides.

At the title card, the answer is d) No triangle! There's no way the "hypoteneuse" of a triangle can be longer than the sum of the two other sides -- at least not on a Cartesian plane, and probably not in Euclidian space....

The drawing fools one into thinking this is a right triangle. Better to have drawn a triangle with a very obtuse angle. That would have put a lot of your students on the right path to solving this problem.

Looks like a incorrect drawing to me. 😊 Did get me to think a little so that’s a good thing.

Right triangle.

The numbers are not labeled as to increments. So it could be a right Triangle

B a right triangle

Pie R round, cake R square

11 > 10

d. No triangle

It looks like a right triangle but a sq+ b sq doesn’t equal c sq so I say acute triangle but I didn’t do the trig.

Why are they even showing the triangle as closed? If one side is 11, another is 6, and the last is 4, it wouldn't connect anyway.

This is not a triangle. The simplest way is to use the Triangle Inequalty Theorem. That is, a+b should be equal to, or greater than c; a+c, should be equal to or grater than b, and c+b should be greater than or equal to a. Now, we know that 11+4 is greater than 6, and 11+6 is greater than 4. However, 6+4=10 and 10 is less than 11. Under the theorem, it's not a triangle.

D no triangle

Since 6 + 4 < 11 It cannot be a triangle DNE!!

Right Triangle

It's a triangle that's moving sideways near the speed of light.

Quote "A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides" So if this one isn't one then you asked a trick question which is hardly fair for people trying to learn.

A triangle with sides 1, 4 and 5 is technically a triangle ic although a degenerate one. It is enough to compare the sum of the two smaller sides with the biggest side. If it is at least as big as the biggest side, it is a triangle.

A2 + B2 = C2. This is not a triangle with one 90 degree angle.

11>4+16. So no triangle.

Right triangle ? I am wrong. If it is a right triangle, 6^2 + 4^2 should be equal to 11^2 But, 36 + 16 = 52, not 121. So, it cannot be a right triangle.

It is a triangle.. it is a 3 sided polygon. You drew it improperly. The 11 side should not have been closed. It should stick past one end or the other. The way you DREW it, it is a triangle.

The diagram is very misleading. They should have just described the puzzle. The units are not given. The 11 could represent another unit. This seems a puzzle wanting to be confusing. If the puzzle is meant to be confusing then two lines may have been arcs instead.

The hypoteneuse is mislabeled. It's 7.21 rounded off.

obtuse triangle

Right Triangle I believe.

The picture is a triangle but the numbers are wrong?

If it isn't a triangle, you draw worse than I do.

Yep. Just like the problems on the internet which are designed to get folks arguing over the order of operations.

It's a left triangle.

The correct answer is insufficient information. You haven't stated whether the object is a representation of a 2 or 3 dimensional object.

Most kids know that if a thingie's legs are too short it can't be a triangle...

You've posted this exact problem before

No triangle

Is this even possible?

Wait! Could this be a trick question?!

The hypotenuse cannot be longer than the sum of the two sides. The diagram does not match the dimensions, and no diagram could. This is a fallacious problem, designed to collect dolts.

B

D

No triangle. Since 4 + 6 < 11, it is not even a geometric figure!

It is a bogosity!

d ( no triangle)

misleading..the actual figure by itself is definitely a triangle. But if it was drawn to the measurements it will be a straight line

It is imaginary.

Obtuse triangle

d

No rocket science here. Since the sum of the 2 short sides equals less than the long side, there is no triangle.

It's a dangle.

c.. the squares of the short sides dont equal the square of the hypotenuse rethinkking ... no triangle... sides 6 & 4 dont reach far enough to = 11 eeven straight line..

dNo triangle

You should explain that the sides 6 + 4 is less than 11 at first so the drawing is a hoax

Pythagoras is your friend!

Granite countertop template and fabrication. Better be on the money if a CNC is involved 😊 a good Sawyer would question your drawings ❤

you are asking about the shape ----------------> its a triangle you never mention the numbers to be relevant

What is a "quad-i-latel?"

d, not a triangle

instant - 1 second - no triangle. sides don't add. thanks for the fun.
