    A. Triangle Equality Theorem B. Triangle Inequality Theorem
    C. Definition of a Triangle D. Definition of an Inequality
    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. 1 and 3 B. 1 and 7
    C. 2 and 5 D. 2 and 4
    Hint

  3.   Which of the following could not be a triangle?

    C. 15, 18, 8 D. 9, 9, 9
    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. 10 and 60 B. 31 and 67
    C. 28 and 49 D. 21 and 77
    Hint

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