which set of numbers can be the measures of the sides of a triangle; 12,9,2 or
3,3,7 or 2,4,6 or 7,7,1
3,3,7 won't work because 3 + 3 < 7 .... and this violates the Triangle Inequality which says that, for all non-degenerate triangles, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the remaining side
The correct answer is the last set
1, 7, 7 ..... 7 + 1 > 7 and 7 + 7 > 1
3,3,7 won't work because 3 + 3 < 7 .... and this violates the Triangle Inequality which says that, for all non-degenerate triangles, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the remaining side
The correct answer is the last set
1, 7, 7 ..... 7 + 1 > 7 and 7 + 7 > 1
