Question

1. A triangular garden is being formed with stones. The three sides measure 4 meters
by 6 meters by 7 meters. Which of the following is a true statement about the side
lengths of the triangle?
A The side lengths will nptform a triangle because 6 + 4 > 7
B. The side lengths will form a triangle because 4 + 6+ 7
C. The side lengths will not form a triangle because 7 + 4 < 6
D. The side lengths will form a triangle because 6 + 7 > 4

Answer 1

Answer:

The side lengths will form a triangle because 6+4 > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

For side lengths, the two smallest sides (ex. 6 and 4) must have a greater sum than then highest side length. Since 6+4 is greater than 7, it creates a triange. If it would have been 5+2 it would not have worked because it needs to be greater than, not less than or equal to.
