add all and look for that who is not smaller than one side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for example:
Adding the 1st and 2nd, we get 3+3 = 6 and that is greater than the 3rd side 4.
Adding the 1st and 3rd, we get 3+4 = 7 and that is greater than the 2nd side 3.
Adding the 2nd and 3rd, we get 3+4 = 7 and that is greater than the 1st side 3.
Therefore (3,3,4) can represent the sides of a triangle
