1.   The _______________ states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
    A. Triangle Inequality Theorem B. Triangle Equality Theorem
    C. Definition of an Inequality D. Definition of a Triangle
    Hint

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

  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. 5 and 35
    C. 15 and 20 D. 10 and 35
    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. 31 and 67 B. 28 and 49
    C. 10 and 60 D. 21 and 77
    Hint

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