Hint: a 3-4-5 right - triangle is an example of a T satisfying the
given.
Hint 2: you can make an infinite number of sub-triangles with
perimeter strictly larger than 10 inches, 6 is too easy.
Hint 3: remember: the perimeter of a (non-degenerate) triangle is
strictly larger than twice the longest side.
