Answer 2

Answer:4) Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm : YES.

Explanation:

1) Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 8 cm : NO, since there is one side that is greater than the sum of the others, whereas it should SMALLER

2) Side = 15 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 9 cm : NO, since there is one side that is EQUAL to the sum of the others, whereas it should be smaller

3)Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 6 cm : NO, since there is one side that is GREATER than the sum of the others, whereas it should be smaller

4) Side = 16 cm, side = 9 cm, side = 8 cm : YES.
