State if the three numbers can be the measures of the ustedes of a triangle.
12, 18, 9
Remember that
The triangle inequality theorem, states that
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
so
12+9 > 18
21 > 18 -----> is true
You only need to see that the two smaller sides are greater than the largest side
therefore
the answer is
