Answer:

  a) no

  b) yes

  c) maybe (no)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two versions of the triangle inequality. One requires ...

  a + b > c

for any triple of side measures a, b, c.

The other allows ...

  a + b ≥ c

which admits "triangles" that have zero height and look like line segments.

Most questions asking "do these lengths form a triangle" are concerned with the "greater than" case, and disallow the "or equal to" case.

__

a)

  16+21=37\ngtr39\qquad\text{not a triangle}

b)

  27+34=61>58\qquad\text{could be a triangle}

c)

  9+29=38\ge38\qquad\text{could be a triangle if "equal to" is allowed}

Is the sum of two angles sometimes , always , or never an obtuse angle ?
k0ka [10]
An obtuse angle would be an angle more then 90 degrees.

So if you add two angles together, it could be less then 90 degrees, such as 30 + 50 = 80 degrees.

However, it can also be more then 90 degrees, or an obtuse angle, for example 60 + 50 = 110 degrees.

So it's sometimes.
