Answer: No, sum of two sides is not greater than the tird side.


Explanation:

For a triangle, the sum of any of two sides must be greater than the third side.

Given : Measurements for triangle 10.6cm, 5.6cm, and 4.0 cm

Suppose it is possible to have a triangle with given measurements.

But here, 5.6 cm + 4.0 cm= 9.6 cm which is not greater than 10.6 cm

Therefore, a triangle with lengths 10.6cm, 5.6cm, and 4.0 cm is not possible.
