Answer» (i) No. It is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides 5cm, 4cm and 9cm because the sum of two sides is not greater than the third side i.e. 5 + 4 is not greater than 9. (ii) Yes. It is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides 8cm, 7cm and 4cm because the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. (iii) Yes. It is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides 10cm, 5cm and 6cm because the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. (iv) Yes. It is possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides 2.5cm, 5cm and 7cm because the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. (v) No. It is not possible to construct a triangle with lengths of its sides 3cm, 4cm and 8cm because the sum of two sides is not greater than the third side. |
