Question

Can three sticks of length 12 cm,4 cm and 5.5 cm be arranged to form a triangle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

because 12 is greater than the sum of the other two values

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the phytagorus theorem,

hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + altitude^2

(12)^2 = (4)^2 + (5.5)^2

144 = 16 + 30.25

144 not equal to 46.25

Therefore, the three sticks of length 12cm,4cm,5.5cm cannot form a triangle
