To determine which group of side measures will form a triangle, we need to apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states:
In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
So, if we have side measures a, b, and c, to form a triangle we must have:
a + b > c
a + c > b
b + c > a
If all three inequalities are satisfied, then the side measures will form a triangle.
Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem and determine which group of side measures will form a triangle. (1 point)
