Question
Is it possible to have a triangle with the sides $6\ cm, 3\ cm, 2\ cm$
✓
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
Here,
The given sides of the triangle are:
$6\ cm, 3\ cm,$ and $2\ cm$
Now,
$6 + 3 = 9\ cm$ and $9\ cm > 2\ cm$
$3 + 2 = 5\ cm$ But, $5\ cm < 6 \ cm$
Therefore,
The triangle is not possible as the sum of the length of either two sides of the triangle is not greater than the third side.
