Q10 of 805 Page 12

Is it possible to construct a triangle whose sides measure 6 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm?

Triangle Equality Theorem: For any triangle, the sum of lengths of two sides is always greater than the length of third side.


The lengths of the sides are 6 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm.


Trying for different combinations of sum of sides,


5 cm + 6 cm > 10 cm


6 cm + 10 cm > 5 cm


5 cm + 10 cm > 6 cm


Hence, a triangle with these sides is possible.
