If you have triangle ABC:

A

/\

/ \

/___\

B C

2 segments must have a larger sum of length than the other side.

So if AB is 3, BC+CA must equal more than 3.

But the segment can't be too long otherwise the other side relations won't work, i.e. AB+CA equaling the same as or less than BC.

Can the segments 4 3 and 6 form a triangle?

To determine if the segments 4, 3, and 6 can form a triangle, we can use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Checking the combinations: (4 + 3 = 7 > 6), (4 + 6 = 10 > 3), and (3 + 6 = 9 > 4). Since all conditions are satisfied, the segments can indeed form a triangle.
