Question

5. Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides?
(a) 6 cm, 4 cm , 10 cm
(b) 8 cm , 2 cm , 1 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

No, it is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 4 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm because here we see that sum of the lengths of two sides is equal to third side i.e., 4+3 = 7. As we know that, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side, so given statement is not correct

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 6+4=10                 No

   4+10=14                Yes

   10+6=16                Yes

So, no it is not possible because as we know the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side, so given statement is not correct.

b) 8+2=10                  Yes

   2+1=3                     No

   1+8=9                      Yes

So, no it is not possible because as we know the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side, so given statement is not correct.
