Question

draw the triangle abc using 5cm 7cm and 14cm

Answer 1

Hi friend, Harish here.

Here is your answer.

Every triangle must  satisfy the triangular inequality. The triangular inequality states that

sum of any two sides must be greater than the 3rd Side.

Suppose a , b , c are lengths of the side of a triangle.

Then ,

a + b > c

b + c > a

c + a > b

Now lets come to the original question.

To draw a triangle with these side lengths it must satisfy the triangular inequality.

14 + 5 = 19 > 7   - (i)

14 + 7 = 21 > 5  - (ii)

5 + 7 = 12 < 14   - (iii)  Not satisfying the condition.

Therefore we can't draw a triangle with these side lengths.
