Question

Is it possible to construct a triangle with side lengths of 6 cm, 11 cm, and 13 cm? Why or why not?

A.
No, because 6 + 11 < 13.
B.
Yes, because 6 + 11 ≠ 13.
C.
No, because 6 + 11 = 13.
D.
Yes, because 6 + 11 > 13.

Answer 1

B. Yes, because 6 + 11 ≠ 13.

Step-by-step explanation: So for this one, you have to add two numbers and if the third number is bigger it is a possible construct but if it less than the third number than it is not a possible construct. So 6+ 11 = 17 (its good so far) 11 + 13 = 24(its good so far) 13 + 6 = 19( its good so far) everything checks out that means B is right. And also it is not D because that is saying 6 + 11 is less than 13 which is wrong. Hope this helps someone :)
