Question

Is it possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths? If not, explain why not.

14. 1,4,6
16. 22,26,65
18. 7,54,45

Answer 1

if the short parts dont add up to greater than the longest part; theyll never meet

Answer 2

So for 14. the numbers 1,4,6 do NOT construct one because 1+4=5 which is not greater than 6?

Answer 3

1,4,6 1+4 = 5

5 < 6 , will never form a triangle

Answer 4

thats right

Answer 5

when the shorts add to greater then the long; they meet at a point, at least

Answer 6

if the shorts add up to the same as the long, you get a straight line
