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.
9 cm, 6 cm, 16 cm
Solution
9 cm, 6 cm, 16 cm
Here, 16 > 9 + 6 or 16 > 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.
