Which of the following sets could not represent the sides of a triangle? {3, 4, 5} {2, 2, 4} {3, 3, 5}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{2,2,4}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a triangle, the rule is two sides' sum cannot be greater than another side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, it HAS to be larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My bad :)

OpenStudy (xmoses1):

Ok that makes more sense haha

OpenStudy (xmoses1):

So the second choice is correct because the two sides cannot equal the third side when added together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly, it must be greater.

OpenStudy (xmoses1):

ok thank You! It makes more sense now:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome good luck (:
