Question
Is it possible to have a triangle with the sides $2\ cm, 3\ cm, 5\ cm$
✓
Answer
We know that,
In a triangle, the sum of the length of either two sides of the triangle is always greater than the third side
The given sides of the triangle in this question are:
$2\ cm, 3\ cm,$ and $5\ cm$
Now,
$2\ cm + 3\ cm= 5\ cm$
Therefore,
This triangle is not possible as the sum of the length of either two sides of the triangle is not greater than the third side.
