Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
It satisfies the rule that states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the other.
6+5=11 which is greater than 8
6+8=14 which is greater than 5
5+8=13 which is greater than 6

Answer:
NO
Step-by-step explanation:
PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLET:
A²+B²=C²
⇒6²+5²=8²
⇒36+25≠64
⇒61≠64
AS IT DID NOT SATISFY THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM,
5CM ,6CM AND 8 CM CANNOT BE THE LENGTHS OF A TRIANGLE.
