You will need to use the triangle inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which states that the sum of the measures of any two sides of any triangle is greater than the measure of the third side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean answer to your question is 5 m, 9 m, 1500 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The triangle inequality. In otherwords, in order to have a triangle (think of a tent), if two sides added together are less than the third, you don't have a tent / triangle.
