Question

A student states that a triangle can be formed with side lengths 4 in, 5 in, and 8 in. is the student correct? why, or why not? yes, because 4 5 > 8 yes, because 5 8 > 4 no, because 4 5 > 8 no, because 5 8 > 4

Answer 1

Yes because 4+9>8 and 5+8>4.

A polygon is a closed figure having n sides. The polygons are rectangle, square, triangle, etc.

A triangle is a 2D figure or polygon having only 3 sides. There are various types of triangles like an equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, etc.

The sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180 degrees.

For the polygon to be a triangle we must verify if the sum of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the third side.

if yes then the triangle is formed otherwise not.

since 5+4=9>8 and 5+8=13>4 the student can make the triangle correctly.
