Question

Can you make a triangle with 9 in , 4 in , and 6 in

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, you can make a triangle with it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Lengths: 9in, 4in, 6in$

Required

Do the lengths form a valid triangle

To do this, we make use of triangle inequality theorem which states that;

For sides a, b and c;

$a + b > c$

$b + c >a$

$a + c > b$

So, we have:

$9 + 4 > 6$ -- true

$4 + 6 > 9$ -- true

$6 + 9 > 4$ -- true

Since all the inequalities are true, then the sides form a valid triangle
