Question

is it possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides as 9 cm , 7 cm, 17 cm? give reason

Answer 1

9+7 = 16 which is less than the third side. we know that if the sum of the two smaller sides is equal or more than the third side then the construction of the triangle is possible .

but here the sum is less so the triangle cannot be constructed

please mark it as brainliest

Answer 2

$\huge \mathfrak \purple{hello \: mate}$

We know that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.

Let A=9 cm, B=7 cm and C=17 cm.

So, here

A+B should be greater than C

Now,

A+B= 9+7=16 cm

C=17 cm

Since, A+B<C

The construction of the given triangle is not possible.

Answer: Not possible
