Erm...

Answer 21

I guess the catchy word there is \(\Large \bf could\)
as opposed to \(\bf would\)

Answer 22

Answer 23

@BloomLocke367

Answer 24

Yes?...

Answer 25

Help lol. I don't get this or what their saying... lol

Answer 26

for there to be a triangle, 2 sides have to be more than a side when added together..

Answer 27

like, say you have 4 5 and 6

Answer 28

that would work, because 4+5 is bigger than 6, 4+6 is bigger than 5 and 5+6 is bigger than 4... make sense?

Answer 29

Yes

Answer 30

So, can you find your answer?

Answer 31

But arnt most of them bigger than the 3rd number?

Answer 32

ehhhh no.. take D for example. is\[16+16>32\]

Answer 33

So does that mean it wouldn't be D. or it would be D.?

Answer 34

it would not

Answer 35

16+16+32... it's not bigger than 32

Answer 36

For A. and B, What would I add?

Answer 37

oops, the last '+' is supposed to be '+'

Answer 38

dang it =

Answer 39

sorry

Answer 40

and you add all of them... do you know what I mean? all possibilities

Answer 41

This is getting confusing....

Answer 42

I was supposed to find the one that was higher now I have to add them all up?

Answer 43

nooo.. go back to my example.. remember how I added all possibilities to see if two sides were greater than one side?

Answer 44

Yes....

Answer 45

that's what you need to do

Answer 46

Im confused on what im supposed to add. because before you did 16+ 16 but it was 16,32,16. not 16,16,32

Answer 47

so for a.\[17+13=?\]\[17+2=?\]\[13+2=?\]

Answer 48

I know. but I showed you right away that it didn't work.. you could've done 32+16 and 16+16 but you would've found out anyways it doesn't work

Answer 49

17 + 13 = 30, 17 + 2 = 19, 13 + 2 = 15

Answer 50

now, does it make a triangle, given what I've told you?

Answer 51

Yes?

Answer 52

no... I said that in order for there to be a triangle two sides have to be greater than one side... here, I can explain it better.
