Question

Joe measures side lengths of triangular canvas to be 22 inches, 10 inches and 11 inches. Could those be correct measurements?

Answer 1

Incorrect measurement

Explanation:

Given

Shape: Triangle

Length: 22in, 10in and 11in

Required: Determine if the measurements are correct

For the measurement of a triangle to be true, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

i.e.

`22 + 10 > 11` --- True

`22 + 11 > 10` --- True

`11 + 10 > 22` --- False

Since all three conditions are not true, then the measurements are incorrect
