Question

Why is it not possible to construct a triangle with sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 8 cm?

Open in App
Solution

We know that if the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side (greater side), then the triangle can be constructed.

For measures 3 cm, 4 cm and 8 cm, we observe that 3 cm + 4 cm < 8 cm.

So, it is not possible to construct a triangle with the sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 8 cm.
