Drag each set of side lengths to show whether they can or cannot make a triangle, or if there is not enough information to tell.

Solve for x.

x = log44

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

x = log44

x = Solve for x.

x = log44

x = Solve for x.

x = log44

x =

a] 4 ft, 6 ft, 11 ft

the sum of short side is (4+6)=10 which is less than the sum of the longest side. Therefore we conclude that the three lengths CANNOT make a triangle:

CANNOT make a triangle

b] 5 ft, 7 ft, 11 ft

sum of shorter sides is (5+7)=12

since 12 is greater than 11, then the three length can make a triangle.

CAN make a triangle

c] 7 ft, 8 ft, 14 ft

The sum of shorter side is:

(7+8)=15 ft

since the sum of shorter side is longer than that of the longer side, we conclude that the three lengths can form a triangle.  

CAN make a triangle
