Question

What collections of three side lengths can be used to form a triangle?

A. 3 ft, 6 ft, 10 ft
B. 3 ft, 6 ft, 9 ft
C. 4 ft, 9 ft, 6 ft
D. 10 ft, 5 ft, 4 ft

Answer 1

The two smallest sides need to add to be bigger than the biggest side.

3+6=9 9 is not bigger than 10. This is not a triangle.

3+6=9 9 is not bigger than 9. This is not a triangle.

4+6= 10 10 is bigger than 9. This is a triangle.

5+4=9 9 is not bigger than 10. This is not a triangle.

"C" is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!
