Question
Can a triangle have sidelengths 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm?
✓
Answer
To form a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be greater than the length of the third side.
So, 6 cm + 8 cm = 14 cm > 10 cm 8 cm + 10 cm = 18 cm > 6 cm 6 cm + 10 cm = 16 cm > 8 cm
Thus, a triangle is possible with side lengths 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm.
So, 6 cm + 8 cm = 14 cm > 10 cm 8 cm + 10 cm = 18 cm > 6 cm 6 cm + 10 cm = 16 cm > 8 cm
Thus, a triangle is possible with side lengths 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm.
