Question
Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides?
2 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm
Solution
In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of either two sides is always greater than the third side.
Given that, the sides of the triangle are 2 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm.
It can be observed that,
2 + 3 = 5 cm
However, 5 cm = 5 cm
Hence, this triangle is not possible.
