Question

Which CANNOT be the third side of a triangle if the two sides measure 10 cm and 32 cm ?

A.
32 cm

B.
33 cm

C.
44 cm

D.
40 cm

Answer 1

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{\boxed{\sf Answer☂}}`

The Length of the third side of a triangle shouldn't be greater than the some of other two sides,

So, let the side be x

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x < 32 + 10`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x < 42`

And hence, the third side should be less than 42 cm, therefore the only option that doesn't satisfy the condition is option D

Therefore, 44 cm can't be a side of that Triangle.
