Using just yes or no, can you make more than one triangle when you are given 3 different line segments?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A triangle is made up of three line segments therefore, it would be impossible to make multiple triangles with only 3 line segments. You could stretch the line segments but they would never make other triangles since each attempt would be missing one line segment. What can be done with these 3 line segments is making more than one type of triangle. For example, we can make acute triangles, an obtuse triangle, right triangles, etc.
