Determine whether the given measures can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Write yes or no.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "General Rule: Each PAIR of sides must have a sum
\n" ); document.write( "that is GREATER than the 3rd side.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "1. 2,3,4 -----------yes
\n" ); document.write( "2. 5,7,9 -----------yes
\n" ); document.write( "3. 4,8,11 ----------yes
\n" ); document.write( "4,13,13,26 ---------no because 13+13=26 so the figure would be a line
\n" ); document.write( "5. 9,10,20 ---------no, because 9+10<20
\n" ); document.write( "6. 15,17,19 --------yes
\n" ); document.write( "7. 14,17,31 --------no because 14+17=31 so the figure would be a line
\n" ); document.write( "8. 6,7,12 ----------yes\r
