The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. \n" ); document.write( "D) 12.5 cannot be the third side since 4.8+7.4=12.2 \n" ); document.write( "B)2.5+4.8=7.3 so 2.5 cannot be the third side \n" ); document.write( "A) 2.3+4.8=7.1 so 2.3 cannot be the third side\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C) 12.1 can be the third side\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
