The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.
a < b + c
Using this theorem, sort the examples.
A triangle can be created A triangle CANNOT be created
? ?
a=3, b=2, c=4
a=7, b=10, c=18
a=5, b=4, c=7
a=2, b=4, c=7
A triangle can be created:
a=3, b=2, c=4
a=5, b=4, c=7
A triangle CANNOT be created:
a=7, b=10, c=18
a=2, b=4, c=7
