Which of the following is the statement of the triangle inequality theorem?
A. The sum of the measures of any two angles of a triangle is greater than the measure of the third angle.
B. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
C. The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
D. The largest angle of a triangle is between the two longest sides.

Respuesta :

B. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

we know that

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

so

Let

a,b,c------> the length sides of a triangle

The theorem states that three conditions must be met

case 1)

[tex] a+b > c [/tex]

case 2)

[tex] a+c > b [/tex]

case3)

[tex] c+b > a [/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

B. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
