Question

Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides?
(i) 3 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathrm{SOLUTION:-}$

Clearly, We have:

(3 + 6) = 9 > 7

(6 + 7) = 13 > 3

(7 + 3) = 10 > 6

Thus, the sum of any two of these numbers is greater than the third.

• Hence, it is possible to draw a triangle whose sides are 3 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm.
