1.   Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides measuring 13, 21, and 39? Explain
    A. No; 13 is less than 21 + 39.
    B. Yes; 13 + 21 is less than 39.
    C. No; 39 is greater than 13 + 21.
    D. Yes; the sides of the triangle are not all the same lengths.
    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. 2 and 4
    C. 1 and 7 D. 2 and 5
    Hint

  3.   Refer to the figure. Which statement is never true?
   
    A. If EG = 6, ED = 8, and then FG = DF.
    B. If is obtuse, then EG > EF.
    C. If FG = 4, EGDE = 6, then EF < 18.
    D. If DF = 20, FG = 13, and EG = 15, then EF = 11.
    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. 5 and 35 B. 10 and 35
    C. 15 and 20 D. 10 and 25
    Hint

  5.   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
