Is it possible to draw a traingle of side length 2 cm 2 cm and 4 cm?
Answers
Answer:
⇒ It's impossible!!!
Explanation:
To draw a triangle if three sides are given, there are something to know about it at first.
A triangle can be drawn if the largest side is LESSER than the sum of the other two sides.
So, among the three sides, if the largest side is equal to or greater than the sum of the other two sides, then the triangle can't be drawn.
In this question, the lengths of the sides of the triangle are given as 2 cm, 2 cm and 4 cm. Among these, the largest side is of 4 cm long, and the sum of the other two sides is 2 + 2 = 4 cm.
Here both the largest side and the sum of the other two sides are equal. So the triangle can't be drawn.
Because, according to the construction of a triangle, if we draw the side of length 4 cm first, and then if we draw circles of radii 2 cm each with center at either ends of the 4 cm long side to find the third vertex of the triangle, the circles will never intersect each other!
