Question

Can you construct a triangle with the line segments of length 8cm, 5cm and 13 cm? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, we can not construct a triangle from this.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using the Pythagoras theorem.

(hypotenuse)²=(base)²+(perpendicular)²

(13)²=(8)²+(5)²

169=64+25

169≠89
