The sides 5, 6, and 12 form a triangle is false. C will always be the biggest number because it is the hypotenuse, and the others numbers can either be A or B.


12=√(5^2+6^2) \\\\12=√(25+36)\\\\12=√(61)\\\\12\\eq 7.81024967591

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day! :-)

To form a triangle The sum of any two length must be greater the the third side.

5+ 6 =11, which is less than 12 so it can’t form a triangle
