Question

Can a triangle have sides with the given lengths? Explain.
(2 in., 3 in., and 6 in.)

Answer 1

no, because 2 + 3 < 6

Answer 2

So <A and <B have to be of shorter length?

Answer 3

Two sides together in a triangle has to be greater or equal to one side

Answer 4

each side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the two others and greater than their difference

Answer 5

This is a straight line. If you ever get two sides that when added together = the third side, it means it's a straight line.

Answer 6

This is why the sum of two sides is always greater than the third side.

Answer 7

This is (similar) to what you have (notice it is not a triangle)
