The length of the third side cannot be less than 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest 2 sides of a triangle added together has to be more than the biggest side of the triangle.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that in a triangle

Sum of two shorter sides > Third Side

here two sides given 7 cm and 3.5 cm

for Option (a)

3.6 + 3.5 = 7.1 which is greater than 7 (possible)

Option(b)

4.1 + 3.5 = 7.6 which is greater than 7 (possible)

Option(c)

3.4 + 3.5 = 6.9 which is not greater than 7 so it is not possible to have third side as 3.4 cm, hence option (c) is the correct option.
