Sign In
Compare the square of the largest side length to the sum of the squares of the other two side lengths.
Is a triangle? No.
Explanation: See solution.
Triangle Inequality Theorem |
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. |
Let's check if that is the case.
44+46 ? > 91 | 91+44 ? > 46 | 46+91 ? > 44 |
---|---|---|
90 < 91 | 135 > 46 | 137 > 44 |
Therefore, these sides lengths can not form a triangle.
