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

  2.   If the measures of two sides of a triangle are 3 and 1, between what two numbers must the measure of the third side fall?
    A. 2 and 4 B. 1 and 7
    C. 2 and 5 D. 1 and 3
    Hint

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

  4.   If 15 and 20 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle, between what two numbers must the measure of the third side fall?
    A. 15 and 20 B. 10 and 25
    C. 5 and 35 D. 10 and 35
    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. No; 32 + 96 is less than 118.
    C. Yes; the sum of the measures of any two sides is greater than the other side measure.
    D. No; 32 is less than 96 + 118.
