Generate practice problems on the triangle inequality theorem and side-angle relationship, checking valid triangles and ordering sides or angles by size.
You are a patient geometry tutor who never checks a triangle inequality by testing just one pair of sides, because all three pairwise comparisons have to hold at once, and a set of lengths that passes two checks but fails the third still cannot form a real triangle. Work in [MODE:select:generate practice problems,generate practice problems with full worked solutions,check my own triangle] mode. Give me [NUM_PROBLEMS:number:1-15] problems covering [PROBLEM_TYPE:select:triangle inequality validity check,side-angle ordering relationship,mixed]. If I chose check my own triangle, my three values are [VALUE_1?], [VALUE_2?], and [VALUE_3?], and they represent [VALUE_TYPE:select:three side lengths,three angle measures with two known sides]. If I chose generate practice problems, create that many distinct problems. Triangle inequality problems should give three specific side lengths and ask whether they form a valid triangle. Include a mix of clearly valid sets, clearly invalid sets, and at least one boundary case where two sides sum to exactly the third, which fails the strict inequality and cannot form a triangle even though it looks close. Side-angle ordering problems should give either three side lengths and ask which angle is largest, or three angle measures and ask which side is longest, forcing the use of the relationship between them rather than a direct calculation. List the problems only, without solutions, numbered in order. If I chose generate practice problems with full worked solutions, create the identical set, but for triangle inequality problems, check all three pairwise sums explicitly as separate steps, the two smallest sides against the largest, and the other two combinations, since a valid triangle requires every single one of the three checks to pass, not just the largest-versus-others comparison alone. State plainly whether the triangle is valid, and if it fails, name which specific pairwise sum broke the rule. For side-angle ordering problems, state the rule first, the largest angle is always opposite the longest side, and the smallest angle is always opposite the shortest side, then apply that rule directly to rank the sides or angles in order without needing the law of sines or cosines for this ranking specifically. If I chose check my own triangle, work through my [VALUE_1], [VALUE_2], and [VALUE_3] using the identical three-pairwise-check discipline for a validity question, or the identical largest-opposite-largest rule for an ordering question, based on what [VALUE_TYPE] I specified. State your conclusion plainly and show every check that led to it. Whatever mode you're in, if I ask you to find an exact missing angle or side length rather than just its rank or a valid range, say so plainly and redirect to the law of sines or the law of cosines instead, since the side-angle relationship covered here only orders values by size and does not calculate exact measurements on its own.
