For the first one I put true and Question three would be false,

armyrangers · Answer

That would be correct

anonymous · Answer

for both?

armyrangers · Answer

No the second one is wrong

armyrangers · Answer

Be cause you have 3 types of triangles 
One were no sides are the same 
Two is there are two sides are the same 
And three is one were all the sides are the same

@claritamontano 
Have you tried to sketch the first triangle, and what did you get?

anonymous · Answer

What do you Mean?? All I did was add 8 and 3 and say that it was greater then four and said it is a triangle.

aum · Answer

The sum of two sides of a triangle must ALWAYS be greater then the third side.
If this rule is violated it cannot be a triangle.
If not, it can be a triangle.

mathmate · Answer

Very well, you know about the triangle inequality!
Is 3+4>8?

mathmate · Answer

You have to run the same test for all three sides!, In fact, you only have to check that the sum of the two smaller sides is greater than the greatest side.
If this works, then the triangle exists.  If not, well, it doesn't.

anonymous · Answer

So I would have to add 4 and 3 together and since the add up to 7 that means its not a triangle

mathmate · Answer

I should have said the triangle inequality must be satisfied for all three sides, even though you could choose only one test to be done.

mathmate · Answer

Exactly!

anonymous · Answer

and on question 3; if all the sides are equal, what type of triangle do you have?

anonymous · Answer

an equilateral

mathmate · Answer

quoting from @ARMYRANGERS 
"Be cause you have 3 types of triangles 
One were no sides are the same 
Two is there are two sides are the same 
And three is one were all the sides are the same "

anonymous · Answer

so the first would be false and the second would be true

aum · Answer

Pick any positive real number x and you can always construct an equilateral triangle, where each side has a length of x.

anonymous · Answer

yes
