Q. Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 3, 6, and 7?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Triangle Inequality Theorem: To determine if these can be the sides of a triangle, we need to check the triangle inequality theorem. The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Check 3+6>7: Check if 3+6>7. Calculation: 3+6=9, and 9>7, so this part is true.
Check 3+7>6: Check if 3+7>6. Calculation: 3+7=10, and 10>6, so this part is true too.
Check 6+7>3: Check if 6+7>3. Calculation: 6+7=13, and 13>3, so this part is also true.
