Question

Can the side lengths of 3, 10, and 13 form a triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

This cannot form a triangle because the Triangle Inequality states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the other side.

This set of side lengths doesn't satisfy the Triangle Inequality, since 3 + 10 = 13, and 13 is not greater than 13.

In short, this doesn't form a triangle, instead it just forms a straight line.

Answer 2

No.

Explanation:

Assuming 13 is the base. 3 can't be a slope, and 10 can't be a slope because the sids aren't long enough.
