Let

a = 12, b = 24, and c = 36

The triangle inequality theorem states that any side of a triangle must be shorter than the other two sides added together.

This means that

[tex]\begin{gathered} aSubstitute the following, and determine if each of the inequality holds.[tex]\begin{gathered} aSince not all of the inequality does not hold. A triangle cannot have sides 12, 24, and 36
