To check whether it is possible to have a triangle with side lengths 4cm, 13cm, and 14cm, we use a special rule.
The rule is: If you take any two sides of a triangle and add their lengths, the sum of the lengths must be greater than the third side.
Test this triangle. 4+13=17, which is bigger than 14. 14+4=18, which is bigger than 13. 13+14=27, which is greater than 4.
The rule works for all side combinations, so it is possible to have a triangle like this.
So the answer is: yes, you can have a triangle of side lengths 4cm, 13cm, 14cm. (Note that the lengths do not have to be in centimeters, for example they can be 4m, 13m, and 14m)

The length of three sides of the triangle are 4 feet 6 feet and 9 feet Is the triangle a right triangle?
A triangle with sides measuring ; 4 feet , 6 feet and 9 feet is a right triangle. A triangle is a right triangle as long as it has one 90 degree point.
Do these three sides make a right triangle 4 4 8?
no
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 4 and 15?
For a triangle to exist, the sum of the two shorter sides must be longer than the longest side. If 15 is the longest side, then the other, missing, shorter side must be greater than 15 - 4 = 11. If the third, missing, side is the longest side, then it must be less than 15 + 4 = 19 So the third side is any length greater than 11 and less than 19. Examples include 12, 13, 15, 11.5, 18.5.
Two triangle are similar and the ratio of the corresponding sides is 4 3 What is the ratio of their areas?
area of triangle 1 would be 16 and the other triangle is 9 as the ratio of areas of triangles is the square of their similar sides
What is the domain for (10 8) (14 4) (4 0) (13 0) (-16 13) (17 -14)?
Domain includes all of the x-coordinates, which are 10, 14, 4, 13, -16, and 17. So the domain would be the set {-16, 4, 10, 13, 14, 17}
How is a triangle and a rectangle different?
a triangle has 3 sides. a rectangle has 4 sides.
Is a triangle a quadrilaterial?
No. A triangle has 3 sides. A quadrilateral has 4 sides.
Why is a triangle not a parallelograms?
Because a triangle has 3 sides whereas a parallelogram has 4 sides
Is a triangle parallelogram?
No, because a triangle has no parallel sides.
Is it possible to draw a right triangle with the following side length 4 in 10in and 14 in show work?
No, it is impossible to draw any triangle with those side lengths:For a triangle to exist the sum of the shorter sides must exceed (ie be greater than) the longest sides.The sum of the shorter sides is 4 in + 10 in = 14 in which is the same as the longest side; thus those sides cannot form any triangle.
A right scalene triangle?
Any triangle whose sides form a Pythagorean triple, eg 3-4-5 or 5-12-13
Is a iscoseles triangle a quadrilateral?
NO, a triangle has 3 sides (tri = 3 ) . A quadrilateral has 4 sides ( quad = 4 )
What is the perimeter for triangle square and rectangle?
Triangle = sum of its 3 sides Square = sum of its 4 sides Rectangle = sum of its 4 sides
Is a triangle a parralogram?
No because a triangle has 3 sides whereas a parallelogram has 4 sides
