1. 5-6 Inequalities in ONE Triangle

2. If we understand that then it should make sense that is greater than either all by themselves.

3. We have discussed this before…

6. If I were to give you three segments all of different lengths can you always make a triangle from those three segments?
When asked if three segment lengths will create a triangle or not, you must identify the two smallest segment lengths, if their sum is greater than the third segment then YES they create a triangle. If equal to or less than the third side then NO they do not create a triangle.

7. Do the following segments create a triangle?
4, 8, 11
3, 4, 5
3, 3, 7
9, 11, 20
