Yes, the Bermuda Triangle is indeed shaped like a triangle. The distances between the points of this triangle are important because we can use a rule called the Triangle Inequality Theorem to make sure that the lengths of the sides of the triangle meet the requirements for it to be a triangle.

could you write this like a 12 year old would but keep it formal?

Yes, the Bermuda Triangle is shaped like a triangle with three points. It is important to consider the distances between these points to make sure that it meets the requirements of being a triangle. We can use a rule called the Triangle Inequality Theorem to check that the lengths of the sides match up correctly.
