Answer by JBarnum(2146)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
any number (x) between 0 and 6
looks like this

x cant be 0 or there wouldnt be a side
x cant be negative
x cant be 6 or greater because if the 2 sides were to stretch to meet at the points of the other segments the 2 sides would make a paralell line to the 3rd side and any larger wouldnt make a completed triangle
