Question

5. Molly has 5 sticks of lengths 2,4,6,8, and 10 inches. Using three sticks at 1 point
a time as the sides of triangles, how many triangles can she make?

Answer 1

Answer:

4, 6 & 8  /   4, 8 & 10 ,  /  6, 8 & 10

So 3 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side of a triangle has to be greater than the difference of the other 2 sides, and less than the sum of the other 2.

diff < long side < sum

Not equal to, less than & greater than.
