Question

Could 10.3cm 4.4cm and 8.3 cm be the side lengths of a triangle yes or no

Answer 1

Yes, the lengths 10.3 cm, 4.4 cm, and 8.3 cm can be the side lengths of a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the given lengths 10.3 cm, 4.4 cm, and 8.3 cm can be the side lengths of a triangle, we need to check if the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side. Let's compare the lengths:

1. 10.3 cm + 4.4 cm = 14.7 cm (sum of first two sides)
2. 10.3 cm + 8.3 cm = 18.6 cm (sum of first and third side)
3. 4.4 cm + 8.3 cm = 12.7 cm (sum of last two sides)

As we can see, in all three cases, the sum of two sides is greater than the third side, which means these lengths can indeed be the side lengths of a triangle.

Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

As you probably know, triangles have 3 sides. The longest side is called the hypotenuse. In this case, the hypotenuse is 10.3. Now, you might or might not know the pythagorean theorem, which states that the a² + b² =c ².

In this case, we can say that 4.4 is a and 8.3 is b. Now if we square 4.4 and add it to 8.3 squared, we get 88.25. However, if you square 10.3, you get 106.09. Thus, the values cannot be this way. So, your answer is no.
