Hal has three pieces of wood. Board A is 4 inches long, board B is 6 inches long, and board C is 12 inches long. If the full length of each board is used, can the three pieces of wood be placed together to form a triangle?
No, the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, 4 + 6 = 10, which is not greater than 12. Therefore, it is not possible to form a triangle with these three pieces of wood.
