Question 1010605: how can I determine whether a set of measurements can be the sides of a triangle, if they do a triangle how can I classify the triangle into acute obtuse or right
Example I get that the sides of a triangle are 30,40,60 with those sides how can I tell if it can make a triangle, and what type of triangle is it? (acute right or obtuse)

-------
Regarding the 30,40,60
Pick any pair of sides.
The 3rd side must satisfy the following inequality::
Pair 30,40
----
40-30 < 60 < 40+30
True, so 60 can be the 3rd side side of the triangle.
