Question 113656: Is it possible to build a triangle using the given side lengths? If so order the angle measures of the triangle from least to greatest. (Hint: Sketch each)
RS= (sqaure root of) 46, ST= 3(square root of)5, RT=5.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
RS= (sqaure root of) 46 = 6.782...
ST= 3(square root of)5 = 2.236...
RT=5.
----------
Since the sum of each pair of sides is greater than the remaining side
a triangle can be formed.
Angle opposite RS is T ; largest because opposite the largest side
Angle opposite ST is R ; smallest because opposite the smallest side
Angle opposite RT is S ; 2nd largest
