{14,26,41}
{9,19,27}
{14,19,30}
{7,10,14}

Answer 1

C
Explanation:
The third one down. There are two ways you
know this.
1. If you had two boards that where 6 cm and
20 cm and tried to make a triangle with the
third side = 27, the two little boards would lie
flat on the 27 cm board.
2. The other three answers all make the
smaller two sides larger than the third larger
side.
