B: 4,4,4

C: 6, 6, 2

D: 7, 8, 13

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 7,6,14

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules for side lengths of triangle.

1. Any side should be less then the sum of the other two angles.

2. The same side should be greater than the subtraction of the other side lengths(bigger side - smaller side)

A.

7 < 6+14 .  Correct

7> 14-6 .     Incorrect

This cannot be a solution (impossible)

B.

4<4+4 .  Correct

4>4-4 .  correct

This is a solution (equilateral triangle)

C.

6<6+2 .  Correct

6>6-2 .  Correct

This is a solution (isosceles triangle)

D.

7<8+13 . Correct

7>13-8 . Correct

This is a solution (scalene triangle)
