A triangle can be formed with side lengths 6, 8 and 14. true or false

OpenStudy (lakers):

true

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

And why is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides

OpenStudy (lakers):

b/c 6+8=14 so either the answer has to equal the 3 # or be grater than the 3#...

OpenStudy (lakers):

am i right?

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

it has to be greater

OpenStudy (lakers):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

the sum of 2 sides is greater than the third

OpenStudy (lakers):

so its false?

OpenStudy (zeesbrat3):

yes @lakers
