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.

Answer:
The bearing needed to navigate from island B to island C is approximately 38.213º.
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometrical diagram representing the statement is introduced below as attachment, and from Trigonometry we determine that bearing needed to navigate from island B to C by the Cosine Law:
(1)
Where:
- The distance from A to C, measured in miles.
- The distance from A to B, measured in miles.
- The distance from B to C, measured in miles.
- Bearing from island B to island C, measured in sexagesimal degrees.
Then, we clear the bearing angle within the equation:
(2)
If we know that ,
,
, then the bearing from island B to island C:
The bearing needed to navigate from island B to island C is approximately 38.213º.
