Q2 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

(2.7 cm, 6.1 cm and 8.8 cm)


Let


First side, = 2.7cm,


Second Side, = 6.1cm


Third Side, = 8.8cm


We know that,


The Triangle Inequality Theorem,



So, we have a = 2.7cm, b = 6.1cm and c = 8.8cm


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


2.7 + 6.1 = 8.8 8.8


2.7 + 8.8 = 11.5 > 6.1


6.1 + 8.8 = 14.9 > 2.7


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