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. Definition of a Triangle B. Triangle Equality Theorem
    C. Definition of an Inequality D. Triangle Inequality Theorem
    Hint

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

  3.   Which of the following could not be a triangle?
    A. 7, 11, 3 B. 9, 9, 9
    C. 7, 28, 22 D. 15, 18, 8
    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. 21 and 77 B. 28 and 49
    C. 31 and 67 D. 10 and 60
    Hint

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