    Hint

  2.   Marty has a piece of rope with exactly 7 knots tied at equal intervals as shown. Using the rope, he wants to make triangles so that each vertex of the triangle occurs at a knot. How many different triangles can Marty make?
   
    A. 2 B. 3
    C. 4 D. 1
    Hint

  3.   Which of the following could not be a triangle?
    A. 7, 28, 22 B. 9, 9, 9
    C. 7, 11, 3 D. 15, 18, 8
    Hint

  4.   If 28 and 49 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle, between what two numbers must the measure of the third side fall?
    A. 31 and 67 B. 21 and 77
    C. 28 and 49 D. 10 and 60
    Hint

  5.   Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides measuring 32, 96, and 118? Explain.
    A. Yes; 96 is between 32 and 118.
    B. Yes; the sum of the measures of any two sides is greater than the other side measure.
    C. No; 32 + 96 is less than 118.
    D. No; 32 is less than 96 + 118.
