Q2 B of 59 Page 195

Let's observe the length of the following sides and let's write in which cases it is possible to draw a triangle

(8 cm, 6 cm and 15 cm)


Let


First side, = 8cm,


Second Side, = 6cm


Third Side, = 15cm


We know that,


The Triangle Inequality Theorem,



So, we have a = 8cm, b = 6cm and c = 15cm


Now, we have to check that these given sides satisfy the triangle inequality or not.


8 + 6 = 14 ≯ 15


8 + 15 = 23 > 6


6 + 15 = 21 > 8


No, through the given lengths we can’t draw a triangle.
