Can a line segment with lengths 7 m, 10 m, and 14 m form a triangle?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

yes. because: 7 + 10 > 14 10 + 14 > 7 7 + 14 > 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the Triangle inequality t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think so

OpenStudy (phi):

you could draw out lines of each length on a piece of paper, cut them out, and see for your self. but the way you run into trouble is if the longest side is "too long" or the shortest side is too short.
