Question

Can a triangle be drawn with the following side lengths? Why or why not?
2 cm, 11 cm, 8 cm

Answer 1

No

the sum of the 2 smaller should be bigger than 11

2+8=10

10 is not bigger than 11

 

Answer 2

No, The third important property of triangles is the triangle inequality rule, which states: the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

For example:

2+8=10 which is not a larger number than 11. 

This is a very important rule to making triangles.
