Q. Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 1, 8, and 10?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Triangle Inequality Theorem Check: 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 + 8 > 10: Check if 1 + 8 > 10. Calculation: 1+8=9, which is not greater than 10.
