Answer:

1. yes

2. yes

3. no

4. no

5. yes

Explanation:

The questions you're asking relate to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the two smallest sides (ex. 6 and 13) have to be of greater value than the largest side (ex. 18)

1. 6+13>18

2. 34+27>58

3. 29+9=38 (since the value of the two smallest sides are equal, it does not apply to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, and therefore won't be a triangle)

4. 12+12<25

5. 19+14>31
