Question

Which set of three numbers could be the side lengths of a triangle?

D. 4, 7, 11

Answer 1

@pooja195 @Love.Bug

Answer 2

If a+b is greater than c you can make a triangle if its less you cant make a triangle

Answer 3

i think D but you would need a^2xb^2=c^2

Answer 4

its d

Answer 5

okay thats what i was thinking but pooja said if its greater so i was confused... well thank you cx

Answer 6

Why don't you guys explain your answers rather than just give them away?

Answer 7

Explain WHY they are correct/incorrect.

Answer 8

Pooja meant if you add the two smaller numbers given, and it's greater than the last bigger number, you can make a triangle with them.

Answer 9

D is incorrect...

Answer 10

For example.

A. 4, 10, 6

Two smaller numbers: 4, 6

Add them 4 + 6 = 10

10 is not greater than 10, therefore you cannot make a triangle with these three measurements.

Answer 11

that is i good idea @pooja195 most of the time i do but you did it for me.

Answer 12

haha i knew it hold on let me figure out what it is real quick lol @pooja195

Answer 13

.... D was indeed incorrect .... my apex says the correct answer was B. 4,7,7

Answer 14

ahhhh i see where i went wrong...sorry!

Answer 15

\(\sf a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

Where \(\sf a\) and \(\sf b\) are the shorter sides and \(\sf c\) is the longer side(hypotenuse).

Answer 16

It's "b" The lengths of the sides of a triangle; the sum of
each pair must be greater than the remaining side.

Answer 17

well thank you guys for helping cx
