Question

In drawing triangle ABC, it is given that AB = 3 cm, BC = 2 cm and AC = 6 cm. It is not possible to draw the triangle as:

• A. AB < AC + BC
• B. AC > AB + BC
• C. AB < AC
• D. AB > BC

Answer 1

The correct option is B

AC > AB + BC

We know that in a triangle, sum of two sides is greater than the third side.

Here, AB + BC = 5 cm and AC = 6 cm

So, we have: AC > AB + BC

Thus, it is not possible to construct triangle ABC with given measurements.
