Which of the following possibilities will form a triangle? (5 points)


Group of answer choices

Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 8 cm

Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 9 cm

Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 6 cm

Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm

Answer 1

Answer:4) Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm : YES.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 8 cm : NO, since there is one side that is  greater than the sum of the others, whereas it should SMALLER

2) Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 9 cm : NO, since there is one side that is EQUAL to the sum of the others, whereas it should be smaller

3)Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 6 cm :  NO, since there is one side that is GREATER than the sum of the others, whereas it should be smaller

4) Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm : YES.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm

In a triangle the sum of two side lengths must be greater than the length of the third side.
