Algebra.Com's Answer #422091 by fcabanski(1391) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! No. In a triangle the sum of two sides must be greater than the third side. 3+4 = 7 which is less than 8, so this triangle is impossible.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Hope the solution helped.
