In the drawing, a triangle is formed by drawing a line segment of length a from (4,3) to the positive x-axis. For what value(s) of a can you form
a) one triangle?
b) two triangles?
c) no triangles?

After quickly seeing this, I think I have the answer to A and C.
a.) You can form a triangle if the line segment a was connected to a positive real number on the x axis EXCEPT for 0.
c.) You can form no triangle if the line segment a was connected to 0.
I have no idea how you could get 2 triangles.
