    C. Definition of a Triangle D. Triangle Inequality Theorem
    Hint

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

    A. 1 and 7 B. 2 and 4
    C. 1 and 3 D. 2 and 5
    Hint

  4.   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. 3 B. 1
    C. 2 D. 4
    Hint

  5.   Which of the following could not be a triangle?
    A. 7, 28, 22 B. 7, 11, 3
