Question

4. Do the following side lengths form a triangle?

52, 37, 42

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

use the triangle inequality theorem, where sides are 'a', 'b', and 'c':

all three of these must be true in order to have a triangle:

a+b > c

a+c > b

b+c > a

is 37 + 42 > 52 Yes

is 37 + 52 > 42 Yes

is 52 + 42 > 37 Yes

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

52+37+42 should be 180 but its not so it does not form a triangle
