Answer 1

It's (D) 8 cm and 9 cm. Hope this helps you!

Explanation:

The other 2 sides added have to be greater than 13.

Answer 2

8 and 9

Explanation:

The triangle inequality states that the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side.

Let's check the first one. 5 + 8 > 13 → 13 > 13 which is false.

6 + 7 > 13 → 13 > 13 which is false.

7 + 2 > 13 → 9 > 13 which is false.

8 + 9 > 13 → 17 > 13 which is true.
