In ΔEFG, is it possible for segment GE to measure 6 units? (FG is 5 units long and FE is 3 units long.) A) Yes, because 3 + 5 > 6, 5 + 6 > 3, and 6 + 3 > 5 B) No, because 3 + 5 > 6, 5 + 6 > 3, and 6 + 3 > 5 C) Yes, because 3 + 5 < 6, 5 + 6 < 3, and 6 + 3 < 5 D) No, because 3 + 5 < 6, 5 + 6 < 3, and 6 + 3 < 5

Answer:

A. Yes, because 3 + 5 > 6, 5 + 6 > 3, and 6 + 3 > 5

Explanation:

I got it wrong and chose B. "No, because 3 + 5 > 6, 5 + 6 > 3, and 6 + 3 > 5," but C. "Yes, because 3 + 5 < 6, 5 + 6 < 3, and 6 + 3 < 5" and D. "No, because 3 + 5 < 6, 5 + 6 < 3, and 6 + 3 < 5" are both wrong because 3 + 5 is not < 6 so the only choice left is A. "Yes, because 3 + 5 > 6, 5 + 6 > 3, and 6 + 3 > 5"

(Ps. its kinda hard to read with all the answers so if if the explanation is confusing just read the bold.)
