A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning throughout the question.
x, y, and z are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

选项

答案A

解析 In this question, you are comparing x + y + z with 2z. By subtracting z from both quantities, you can see that this is the same as comparing x + y with z. Since x, y, and z are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and in all triangles the length of each side must be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides, it follows that z < x + y. Thus the correct answer is Choice A.
This explanation uses the following strategies.
