Question

Jackson said that he made a triangle that had side lengths of 6 units, 6 units and 14 units. Is this a possible triangle?

Answer 1

The triangle will not be possible.

this is because two side lengths can't expand 14 units.

in order for the triangle to work, the sum of the two short side lengths must be greater than the longer side.

however, 6+6 does not equal 14 it equals 12 this means that the triangle is not possible
