Nnesha (nnesha):

sum of two sides should be greater than the 3rd side \[\huge\rm a+b>c \]\[\huge\rm a+c>b\]\[\huge\rm c+b>a\]

ues

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jcoury

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant yes

Nnesha (nnesha):

a, b , c can be any side doesn't matter use that formula to get an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get the question

Nnesha (nnesha):

substitute a b, c for given side of triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get it :) wow its easy!

Nnesha (nnesha):

so which one is correct ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are all greater

Nnesha (nnesha):

let's do last one where a =11 b =5 c= 6 \[\huge\rm 11+5>6 \] is it right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geny55 sorry my computer glitched again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its A! I see it :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

now try 3rd equation where \[\rm c+b >a\] \[5+6>11\] 11 is greater than 11 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

Nnesha (nnesha):

so D is not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

Nnesha (nnesha):
