Question

Which of the following can be the sides of the triangle?

$2\mathrm{cm},3\mathrm{cm}\mathrm{and}5\mathrm{cm}$

Answer 1

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

Here, we can see that $2\mathrm{cm}+3\mathrm{cm}=5\mathrm{cm}$ [ Third Side]

So we cannot construct the triangle.

Hence, the given sides cannot be the sides of triangle.
