Answer:

YES

Explanation:

The sides of a triangle rule asserts that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle has to be greater than the length of the third side.

so

6+3=9

6+5=11

3+5=8

yes it is possible

Is it possible to draw a triangle with side lengths 6, 3, and 5?-example-1

Yes..


Add 2 sides together and if it’s larger than the 3rd side it’s possible

6 + 3 = 9, which is larger than 5

3 + 5 =8 which is larger than 6

6 + 5 = 11 which is larger than 3
