the longest side is always shorter than the sum of the other two.
---------------------The distance betweenn Atlanta and Cleveland is about 554 miles. The distance between Cleveland and New York City is about 399 miles. Use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the possible values of the distance between New York and Atlanta.
----------------------------------
That distance is < 554+399 = 953 miles
That distance is > 554-399 = 155 miles
