Question

How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 14cm 8cm and 5cm

A.one
B.none
C.more than one

Answer 1

Option B none

Explanation:

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem, states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Applying the triangle inequality Theorem

1) 14+8 > 5

22 > 5 -----> is true

2) 8+5 > 14

13 > 14 ---> is not true

therefore

No triangles can be constructed with the given sides
