Question

two sides of triangle measure 7 cm and 5 m .find the leangth of the third side if the perimeter of the triangle is 20 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ The sum of the lengths of any two sides in a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side in the triangle.

⇒ The differnce of the lengths of any two sides in a triangle is always lesser than the length of the third side in the triangle.

⇒ The difference between 4cm and 7cm is

3cm and their sum is 11cm.

⇒ To ensure that the above mentioned rule is not violated, the possible length of the third side has got to be greater than 3cm and lesser than 11cm.

⇒ So from the given options 6cm is less than

11cm and greater than 3cm

∴ The length of the third side of triangle is 6cm
