@HunterA help me dude

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

third side is at least 7-3 = 4 ft but if the third side is an integer, then it has to be as small as 5 ft (otherwise a triangle isn't possible)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh this is easy to make a triangle you have to be able to add any two sides together and be greater than the third so yes jim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 4??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thnks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if it was 4, then a triangle isn't possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A triangle can be formed with side lengths 5, 7 and 10. (Points : 2) True False I PUT FALSE AM I RIGHT???
