False. The sum of 2 sides of a triangle is more than the third side.

False. The sum of two sides of a triangle is GREATER than the third side. Don't believe me? Take two straws. Cut one into three unequal pieces and toss one. Use the other straw whole. Now the two small pieces added together will be shorter than the whole straw. Try to make a triangle from these. It's impossible!

false its more than the third side. if u have a 3,4,5 triangle 3 plus 4 = 7 which is more than 5.

False, the two sides need to be more in order to be a triangle.

it is false, the sum of two sides must be greater than the third side (if the sum of two sides is 12 than the third side must be less than 12, if it is 12 then still it's wrong).

True. Because the two sides of the triangles can be 1cm each for example and then the longest is 3cm for example. The 2 sides add up to 2cm which is still less than 3cm.

Absolutely false. This is such an important principle/axiom in higher math that it gets a special name--the Triangle Inequality.
