2 cm, 3 cm, 6 cm
4 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm
5 cm, 7 cm, 10 cm
1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm
2. If two sides of a triangle are 8 inches and 12 inches, which of the following could be the length of the third side?
3 inches
4 inches
15 inches
20 inches
3. A triangle can have side lengths of 10 cm, 10 cm, and 10 cm.
True
False
4. If you have two sticks of lengths 5 feet and 7 feet, you can always form a triangle with a third stick of any length.
True
False
5. According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be than the length of the third side.
6. If the sides of a triangle are a, b, and c, then a + b > c, a + c > b, and b + c > must all be true.
