Answer 1

Answer:

${\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Question}}}}}$

The sides of a triangle have lengths (in cm) 10, 6.5 & a ,where a is whole number. The minimum value that a can take is ?????

${\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Property\ used}}}}}$

Sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side of the triangle.

${\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

Here,

First side=10cm

Second side=6.5cm

Third side=a cm

According to this property,

third side <first side +second side

=>a<(10+6.5)cm

=>a<16.5cm

So,here we can take the minimum of value of a =16.5+0.01=16.51cm

${\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Answer}}}}}$

Third side is 16.51 cm
