OpenStudy (oliviagggg):

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for the sides to form a triangle the sum of any 2 sides must exceed the length of the other side

OpenStudy (welshfella):

For example there is no triangle with sides 2, 3 and 6 because 2+3 < 6

OpenStudy (welshfella):

try and draw it - you can't! |dw:1454527766763:dw|

OpenStudy (oliviagggg):
