okayy??? @IMStuck

Answer 5

would it be 4 4 9

Answer 6

this is an example using thee first set of sides. But for all the choices, side AB added to side BC has to be greater in length than side AC; side BC added to side AC has to be greater in length than side AB; side AC added to side AB has to be greater in length than side BC. This is true for all triangles.

Answer 7

so the answer would be 4,4,9?

Answer 8
