OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: in a triangle a side has to be less than the sum of the other two sides

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have: 6 > 2+3

OpenStudy (horsegal244):

True?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

are you sure? is 6 less than 2+3

OpenStudy (horsegal244):

No but > is greater than isn't it?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (horsegal244):

if 6 is greater than 5 (2+3) so its true?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, it is false since, as I wrote before a side has to be less than the sum of other 2 sides

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and 6 is not less than 2+3

OpenStudy (horsegal244):
