Question

Determine if the following side lengths could form a triangle. Prove your answer with an inequality 6,18,14

Answer 1

For any triple of side measures a, b, c. We use the following inequality:

$a+b>c$

Therefore:

a = 6

b = 14

c = 18

$\begin{gathered} 6+14>18 \\ 20>18 \end{gathered}$

Thus, you can form a triangle.

Answer: Yes. The inequality is

$6+14>18$
