can you explain please?

Answer 3

@KingJ is it a right triangle perhaps?

Answer 4

right triangle = has a square indicated in the corner meaning it's a right angle, 90\(^o\)

Answer 5

Try drawing a triangle with the with side AC= AB+BC
You cant, the best you can do is make a straight line.
Therefore EVERY SIDE of the triangle must be smaller in length then the sum of the other two sides.
