Q. Could 10.6 cm,5.6 cm 10.6 \mathrm{~cm}, 5.6 \mathrm{~cm} , and 4.0 cm 4.0 \mathrm{~cm} be the side lengths of a triangle?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Yes\newline(B) No
  1. Check Triangle Inequality Theorem: To determine if three lengths can form a triangle, we use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. We will check this for all three combinations of sides.
  2. Calculate Sum of Two Shorter Sides: First, we check if the sum of the two shorter sides, 5.6cm5.6\,\text{cm} and 4.0cm4.0\,\text{cm}, is greater than the longest side, 10.6cm10.6\,\text{cm}. We calculate 5.6+4.05.6 + 4.0 and compare it to 10.610.6.
  3. Verify Theorem Not Satisfied: The sum of the two shorter sides is 5.6+4.0=9.6cm5.6 + 4.0 = 9.6\,\text{cm}, which is not greater than the longest side, 10.6cm10.6\,\text{cm}. This means that the Triangle Inequality Theorem is not satisfied.
  4. Conclusion: Since the sum of the lengths of the two shorter sides is not greater than the length of the longest side, the lengths 10.6cm10.6\,\text{cm}, 5.6cm5.6\,\text{cm}, and 4.0cm4.0\,\text{cm} cannot form a triangle.
