Question
The length of the three segments is given for constructing a triangle. Say whether a triangle with these sides can be drawn. Give the reason for your answer.
17 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm
Solution
17 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm
Here, 17 > 7 + 8 or 17 > 15
In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is always greater than the third side.
Therefore, the triangle is not possible.
