Question 682245: Can the sides of a triangle have lengths of 22, 34, and 42?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = 22
b = 34
c = 42
Check to see if a + b > c is true
a + b > c
22 + 34 > 42
56 > 42
Since the inequality is true, we can move onto the next part.
Check to see if b + c > a is true
b + c > a
34 + 42 > 22
76 > 22
Since the inequality is true, we can move onto the next part.
Check to see if a + c > b is true
a + c > b
22 + 42 > 34
64 > 34
Since the inequality is true, and the other inequalities are true, this means that you can construct a triangle with these lengths.
