Answer:

Explanation:

For all triangles the longest side must be shorter than the two smaller sides when added

---

Invision a triangle with a side of 1cm, 2 cm and 100cm will all sides be able to touch? NO it's not possible.

----

SO in this case look at the biggest number and see if the sum of the smaller numbers are bigger than it

5 <3+4 =7 True

9 <5+2 =7 False

12 <5+10 =15 True

11 <9+7 =16 True

Answer:

2.

Shorter Side + Other shorter side > Biggest side

2+5=7 and 7<9 so it cannot make a triangle.
