\(x > 90\), so \(AC\) is the longest length in the triangle.

Clearly, \(3AC > AB + BC + AC\)

Qt B > Qt A

Well just using common sense.

If the angle is >90 must be at least 91. Therefore, the side on the opposite side of the biggest angle in a triangle is also the longest side.

If we do have 3 times this side vs the entire perimeter of the triangle must be greater.

suppose that the longest side we are talking is 7 the other two sides must be , I do not know, 6 and 6. Therefore the sum is 19

3*7 =21

It is just a question of common sense.
