Determine if the three lengths given will be able to construct a triangle or not: 5, 12, 2.
A) Yes, they can form a triangle.
B) No, they cannot form a triangle.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem, two sides of the triangle should always add up to be greater than the third side or it is not a triangle.

5 + 2 = 7 This sum is less than the third side, 12. Therefore, this cannot make a triangle.
