Question 340169: For each set of lengths, I was told to determine whether it is possible to draw a triangle with sides of the given measures. If possible I would write yes, if not then I would write no.
My first set or side lengths is 3cm, 4cm, 5cm. Will this make a triangle? Why or why not?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! My first set or side lengths is 3cm, 4cm, 5cm. Will this make a triangle?
Why or why not?
-----------------
Draw the longer side: AB= 5 cm
----------
Draw a circle with center at A with radius = 3
---
Draw a circle with center at B with radius = 4.
-----
If the two circles intersect at point C ABC forms a triangle.
