2. B. Yes, the sum of the two longer sides is greater than the shortest side.
3. C. No, you have to know at least one angle measure to determine if the side lengths will form a triangle.
4. D. No, you have to know at least two angle measures to determine if the side lengths will form a triangle.

Answer 1

Answer: I think it’s D

Explanation:

it’s because 8^2 + 13^2 equals 233 and when square rooted equals 15.26 not 20 so no.
