Answer 2

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangle be ∆ABC

AB = 3 cm

BC = 6.1 cm

CA = 2.6 cm

For possibility of constructing a triangle,

AB + BC > CA

3 + 6.1 > 2.6

9.1 > 2.6

TRUE

BC + CA > AB

6.1 + 2.6 > 3

8.7 > 3

TRUE

AB + CA > BC

3 + 2.6 > 6.1

5.6 > 6.1

NOT TRUE

Since the third case is not true, it is not possible to construct a triangle with given sides.
