Question

Which set of side lengths could be used to make a triangle?

A. 5 cm, 8 cm, 2 cm

B. 13 cm, 15 cm, 30 cm

C. 22 cm, 8 cm, 27 cm

D. 2 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm

Answer 1

C. 22 cm, 8 cm, 27 cm

Explanation:

In order to make a triangle with given side lengths, sum of any two side lengths must always be greater than the third side.

here,

22 + 8 = 30 > 27

8 + 27 = 35 > 22

27 + 22 = 49 > 8

Hence, C. 22 cm, 8 cm, 27 cm is the correct option.
