Triangle Inequality Theorem Quiz With Answer

The document is a sample exam for a geometry test on the triangle inequality theorem. It contains 18 multiple choice questions testing various applications of the theorem, which states that the sum of any two side lengths of a triangle must be greater than the third side length. The questions require identifying which sets of numbers could represent valid side lengths of triangles based on this property, finding possible ranges for missing side lengths, and justifying whether given side lengths could form a triangle. An answer key is provided with explanations for each question.
