Question

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 1, 3, and 4?
yes

OR
no

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The 2 side lengths should be the same

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

In order for the sides to be able to create a triangle two of the given sides have to be greater than the third side once added together.


`a+b > c`

`1+3=4`

`4=4`

Which means your answer is "no" these lengths do not create a triangle for it does not pass the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Hope this helps.
