Answer 8

I explained it.

Cauchy's Triangle Inequality says that if the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than or approximately equal to the third side

Answer 9

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality

If you take the lengths of any two sides and they are the same or less than the third side, you can't have a triangle.

Think of it like the sides of a normal tent. You have the floor and the two sides that meet up at the top. If any two sides aren't long enough, you don't have a triangle and therefore can't sleep in the tent!
