George has three steel beams. Beam A is 10 yards long, beam B is 3 yards long, and beam C is 6 yards long. If the full length of each beam is used, can the three steel beams be placed together to form a triangle?
A.
Since 10 yd - 3 yd < 6 yd, a triangle cannot be formed.
B.
Since 3 yd + 6 yd < 10 yd, a triangle can be formed.
C.
Since 10 yd - 6 yd > 3 yd, a triangle can be formed.
D.
Since 3 yd + 6 yd < 10 yd, a triangle cannot be formed.
