Question
Early Egyptians made triangles using a rope with knots tied at equal intervals. Each vertex of the triangle had to be at a knot. How many different triangles could you make with a rope with exactly \(13\) knots as shown below? Sketch each possible triangle.
Solution
The first step in solving 7-4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Early Egyptians made triangles using a rope with knots tied at equal intervals. Each vertex of the triangle had to be at a knot. How many different triangles could you make with a rope with exactly \(13\) knots as shown below? Sketch each possible triangle.
From the textbook chapter Triangle Inequalities - Triangle Inequality Theorem you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
