Question

is it possible to draw a triangle by three line segments of lengths 8cm, 5 cm, 15 cm?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

no because sum of any sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side .

here 8+5 = 13 which is less than 15 so this triangle isnt possible .

Answer 2

Answer:

No, it is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a triangle can be formed by these line segments if and only if " the sum of any two length is greater than the third length"

so, we have :

5+15=20>8 ;

8+15=23>5 ;

but 8+5=13<15

Therefore, it is not possible to form a triangle by these three line segments.
