Solution

The correct option is D

The difference between any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side


Determine the incorrect statement:

The explanation for the correct option:

Option (D): The difference between any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

We know that the definition of a triangle as the polygon having three sides such that the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side. Therefore, we can say that the difference between two sides is less than the third side.

Hence, “Option D” is the correct option.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

Option (A): The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

We know that the definition of a triangle as the polygon having three sides such that the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side

Option (B): A triangle can have all its angles acute.

The term "acute angle" relates to an angle that is less than 90 °.

Yes, triangle can have all angles acute angles for example equlilateral triangle where all angel are 60°

Option (C): A right-angled triangle cannot be equilateral.

The sum of the squares on the other two sides of right-angled triangles is equal to the hypotenuse and one angle is 90°but in equilateral triangle all angle are 60°.

Hence, “Option A, Option B, and Option C ” is the correct option.

Hence, “Option D” is the incorrect option.
