<PRE><B>Question 340169</B>
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.
