a) |z-a| < |z-b|
b) |y-a| < |z-b|
Between these 4 points, there are three distances: 1, 2 and 3
Question : Is 1 < 2+3 ?
St 1)
1+2 < 3

Explanation longer. Thats a nice approach too! Essentially we have done the same thing; u have used numbers and pictures and I have used words to explain.
Good luck!
