Answer 1

nah, 3 + 5 = 8

Answer 2

How do you know if one is formed or not?

Answer 3

if one side is 3 and the other side is 5, then the third side has to be larger than 8

Answer 4

Oh, okay. Thanks :)

Answer 5

if you lay a stick 3 inches long next to a stick 5 inches long, the total is 8 inches but you have a line, not a triangle

Answer 6

Ahhh, stupid unrealization on my part. Lol
