Question
Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides?
6 cm, 3 cm, 2 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 6 cm, 3 cm, 2 cm.
Here, 6 + 3 = 9 cm > 2 cm
However, 3 + 2 = 5 cm < 6 cm
Hence, this triangle is not possible.
