Answer:

3.) a. 9mm b. 10mm c. 8mm

Explanation:

All you have to do is use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side. If this is true for all three combinations of added side lengths, then you will have a triangle.

Formula:

a + b = (answer) > c

a + c = (answer) > b

b + c = (answer) > a

try to solve it yourself so you can do it on your own in the future.
