CONSTRUCCION DE TRIANGULOS

To know if it is possible to construct a triangle, it is necessary to add any of the measures of two of its sides, and if the sum is greater than the third side, then it is possible.

Example 1:

Is it possible to construct a triangle which sides measure 8, 2, and 5 cm;

even though:

8 + 2 > 5 and 8 + 5 > 2 ; but, as: 2 + 5 <>

it is not possible to construct a triangle with these measurements.

Example 2:

Is it possible to construct a triangle which sides measure 6, 4, and 7cm;

6 + 4 > 7 and 6 + 7 > 4 and 7 + 4 > 6

It is possible!
