Question

Do the side lengths 4, 8, and 10 form a triangle? Select the correct answer and reasoning. Question 19 options: A) Yes, because the sum of any two side lengths is greater than the third side length. B) No, because the third side length is greater than the sum of the other two side lengths. C) Yes, because the sum of all three side lengths is greater than 20. D) No, because 4 + 8 is greater than 10.

Answer 1

A) Yes, because the sum of any two side lengths is greater than the third side length.

Explanation:

All triangles have a property that the sum of two side lengths is greater than the remaining side length.

4 + 8 = 12 > 10, making it a triangle
