    A. Triangle Equality Theorem B. Triangle Inequality Theorem
    C. Definition of a Triangle D. Definition of an Inequality
    Hint

  2.   Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides measuring 13, 21, and 39? Explain
    A. Yes; the sides of the triangle are not all the same lengths.
    B. No; 13 is less than 21 + 39.
    C. No; 39 is greater than 13 + 21.
    D. Yes; 13 + 21 is less than 39.
    Hint
