a.) 1
b.) 2
c.) 3
d.) 4

Answer 1

a. 1

Answer 2

How

Answer 3

Give me one moment, I think I messed up.

Answer 4

How can it not be 1

Answer 5

Okay never mind I was right
It's because the third side can be between the smaller number and the sum of the two sides. So 2+3 = 5, and 3-2 = 1. With a side of 1 (in this case, that is), you cannot make a triangle.

Answer 6

Okay thanks
