the two sides of triangle is 3cm and 2cm respectively. the third side is
Answers
5cmm.....
We know that (3+4) cm is greater than third side.
Thus, the third side is smaller than 7 cm
(ii) we know that (4−3) cm is smaller than third side .
Thus, the third side is greater than 1cm.
Therefore, 1 cm < third side <7 cm.
Thus, 5 cm can be the length of third side for a triangle.
- The length of third side of given triangle must be greater than 1 cm and smaller than 5 cm .
Given :- Two sides of a triangle are 3cm and 2cm respectively.
To Find :- Length of third side ?
Concept used :-
- Sum of any two sides of a ∆ is greater than the third side .
- Difference between any two sides of a ∆ is smaller than the third side .
Solution :-
Let us assume that, the length of third side of given triangle is equal to x cm .
First case :- Sum of any two sides of a ∆ is greater than the third side .
So,
→ Two sides of given triangle are = 2 cm and 3 cm
and,
→ Third side of given triangle = x cm
then,
→ Sum of two sides > Third side
→ (2 + 3) > x
→ 5 > x .
Therefore we can conclude that , third side of given triangle is smaller than 5 cm .
Second case :- Difference between any two sides of a ∆ is smaller than the third side .
So,
→ Two sides of given triangle are = 2 cm and 3 cm
and,
→ Third side of given triangle = x cm
then,
→ Difference between of two sides < Third side
→ (3 - 2) < x
→ 1 < x .
Therefore we can conclude that , third side of given triangle is greater than 1 cm .
From both case results we can conclude that, the length of third side of given triangle must be greater than 1 cm and smaller than 5 cm .
[ Possible integer value of length of third side is equal to 2cm, 3cm or 4cm. ]
