Q. Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 1, 2, and 7?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Triangle Inequality Theorem: To determine if these can be the sides of a triangle, we need to check the triangle inequality theorem. The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Check 1 + 2 > 7: Check if 1 + 2 > 7. Calculation: 1+2=3. Since 3 is not greater than 7, the condition fails.
