3.
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.
10 and 25
B.
15 and 20

4.
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 is less than 96 + 118.
C.
Yes; 96 is between 32 and 118.
D.
No; 32 + 96 is less than 118.
Hint
