Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides of length 2 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm?

Question:

Is it possible to draw a triangle with sides of length 2 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm?

Solution:

Given lengths of sides are 2cm, 3cm and 7cm.

To check whether it is possible to draw a triangle with the given lengths of sides

We know that,

A triangle can be drawn only when the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side.

So, let's check the rule.

2 + 3 ≯ 7 or 2 + 3 < 7

2 + 7 > 3

and 3 + 7 > 2

Here 2 + 3 ≠ 7

So, the triangle does not exit.
