Asked by Just the curious one
                Can each set line segments form a triangle? Why or why not?
--
AB = 1/2 mile
--
BC = 1/3 mile
--
AC = 1/4 mile
Please help. Thank you

    Draw out a comparable triangle, using parts of a foot instead of a mile.

    A squared plus B squared equals C squared. C being the hypotenuse (longest side)
Find out which sides arn't the hypotenuse, then square them, add them, and see if they make up the third side :)
If it was me I would get rid of the fractions and put it into decimals too....

    1/2 = 6/12
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
the longest side is not longer than the sum of the two shorter sides , so a triangle can be made
