Question

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 3, 16, and 19?

Answer 1

No

Because you have to add the smallest ones which are 3 and 16 if u add them up it = 19 and you cant have 19 , 19 you have to have the smallest numbers ADD UP Greater Than the biggest number, when its equal to itself it doesn't form a triangle because the lengths are short by 1 please tell me if u need more help

Answer 2

The answer is no. The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third.
