Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 5.5 cm, 8.5 cm, 7.5 cm Concept : The Sum of any 2 sides should be bigger than 3rd side of the triangle. Option A: 5.5 cm + 8.5 cm > 7.5 cm ⇒ 14 cm > 7.5 cm (yes) 8.5 cm + 7.5 cm > 5.5 cm ⇒ 16 cm > 5.5 cm (yes) 7.5 cm + 5.5 cm > 8.5 cm ⇒ 13 cm > 8.5 cm (yes) The Sum of any 2 sides should be bigger than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can be formed. This option is correct Option B: 2.5 cm + 6.5 cm > 3.5 cm ⇒ 9 cm > 3.5 cm (yes) 6.5 cm + 3.5 cm > 2.5 cm ⇒ 10 cm > 2.5 cm (yes) 3.5 cm + 2.5 cm < 6.5 cm ⇒ 6 cm < 6.5 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. Option C: 4.2 cm + 6.2 cm > 1.9 cm ⇒10.4 cm > 1.9 cm (yes) 6.2 cm + 1.9 cm > 4.2 cm ⇒ 8.1 cm > 4.2 cm (yes) 4.2 cm + 1.9 cm < 6.2 cm ⇒ 6.1 cm < 6.2 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. Option D: 3.1 cm + 4.1 cm > 1.0cm ⇒ 7.2 cm > 1.0 cm (yes) 4.1 cm + 1.0cm > 3.1 cm ⇒ 5.1 cm > 3.1 cm (yes) 3.1 cm + 1.0 cm = 4.1 cm ⇒ 4.1 cm = 4.1 cm (No) The Sum of any 2 sides is smaller than 3rd side of the triangle. So, the triangle can't be formed. The correct option is 1 i.e. 5.5 cm, 8.5 cm, 7.5 cm |
