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.
