Question

Determine if the following lengths make a triangle 6,3,7

Answer 1

Yes, the lengths will create a triangle.

Explanation:

6 + 3 = 9 > 7

3 + 7 = 10 > 6

6 + 7 = 13 > 3

If the combination of any lengths is greater than the remaining length, then the lenghts will create a triangle.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

The rule is that if a+b>c, then it's a triangle. In this case, 6+3>7, so it's a triangle. The hypotenuse (7) should always be the largest of the sum of the two side lengths.
