Most likely you are expected to recognize that side lengths 2, 3, 5 will result in a "triangle" of zero area (looks like a line segment).
The appropriate choice is
(5, 3, 2)
_____
Some authors write the triangle inequality as a + b ≥ c for any assignment of a, b, c to side lengths. The "or equal to ..." allows the triangle to have zero area (looks like a line segment). Other authors insist the inequality not include the "or equal to" case. It looks like your text's author is in the latter camp.
Answer:
132 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius is 21 ft
We want to find the circumference
C = 2 * pi *r
Letting pi = 22/7
C = 2 * 22/7 * 21
C = 132 ft
51/4 is the correct answer
People don't actually know this, but it isn't 4, it's 22. If Base+ball is Baseball, then 2+2 is 22
I hope this helps!
