Question

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 7.6, 2.5, and 2.2?

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`7.6, 2.5, 2.2`

In order for any given sides to form a triangle it has to pass the triangle inequality theorem, which is the sum of any two given sides of the triangle has to be greater than the third side in order for it to be a triangle.

In this case...

`7.6, 2.5, 2.2`

`7.6 + 2.5 = 10.1`

`10.1 > 2.2`


`2.5+2.2=4.7`

`4.7 < 7.6`


`7.6 +2.2=9.8`

`9.8 > 7.8`

Therefore, your answer is "no" the following sides do not form a triangle.

Hope this helps.
