Question

Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides of length 2 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm? 

 

Solution

Given lengths of sides are 2cm, 3cm and 7cm we have to check whether it is possible to draw a triangle with ten the given lengths of sides 

We know that,
A triangle can be drawn only when the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side. 

So, let’s check the rule 

2+3>7 or 2+3<7 

2+7>3 

and 3+7>2

Here, 2+3>7 So, the triangle does not exit.
