Answer :
You can't make a triangle with those lengths for sides.
The way I look at it is like this:
-- Take 2 sticks ... lengths 4 and 2 ... and connect them together at one end.
-- The farthest they can reach, if they're opened up completely and pointing
in opposite directions, is a distance of 6 .
-- They can't reach the ends of a stick that is 7 long. So you can't make
a triangle with those 3 sticks.
Answer:
YES!!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
BASICS:
Pythagorean Theorem [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]
SETTING IT UP:
The smallest numbers are A and B.
[tex]4^{2} +2^{2} =7^{2}[/tex]
SIMPLIFY:
16+4=21
This is not true, but we know that its OK because the answer is greater than the equation.
