Question

Which of the following possibilities will form a triangle? (1 point)

Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

Side = 10 cm, side = 6 cm, side = 3 cm

Side = 11 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

Side = 11 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 5 cm

Answer 1

Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle is made up of three line segment. Three line segment can form a triangle only when sum of two small line segment is more than the third line segment.

a. Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

5 cm + 6 cm = 11 cm > 10cm

In the first option, the sum of two small sides is more than the third size, hence it will form a triangle.

Other options do not fulfil the same criteria, so they will not form a triangle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm".
