A triangle can only be formed...if the sum of the 2 smaller sides is greater than the third side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

False. The sum of the smaller two sides must be greater than the length of the longest side.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't that be only for a right angle triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it applies to any triangle. The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. The previous rules are derived from this.
