OpenStudy (danjs):

to be a triangle, 2 sides must total more than the 3rd, for any sides

OpenStudy (danjs):

otherwise , try and draw a triangle with 2 sides, that are together less than the 3rd side length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont undestand that and im on my last question @danJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

for any triangle, if you take any random 2 side lengths, that will always be greater than the 3rd remaining side find somewhere in those 4 where you see 2 of the numbers adding to be still less than the third, that can not be a triange

OpenStudy (danjs):

2+3 is less than 6 can not be lengths of sides of a triangle, that is the one

OpenStudy (danjs):

the sides 2 and 3 arent even long enough to connect the straight line distance of the third side
