Check if the following triangles an be constructed.
(a) 80cm , 5cm , 5cm
(b) 13cm , 6cm , 7cm
(a) 80cm , 5cm , 5cm
Adding up the sides by taking two at a time, we get:
5cm + 5cm = 10cm < 80cm
80cm + 5cm = 85cm > 5cm
So, we see that the sum of one pair of sides when added is not greater than the third side.
Therefore, we cannot draw a triangle with these measurements.
(b) 13cm , 6cm , 7cm
Adding up the sides by taking two at a time, we get:
13cm + 6cm = 19cm > 7cm
13cm + 7cm = 20cm > 6cm
6cm + 7cm = 13cm = 13cm
So, in each case, the sum of two sides is equal to the third side.
Hence, this triangle cannot be constructed.
