Q. Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 3, 7, and 8?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Triangle Inequality: Step 1: Check if the given side lengths satisfy the triangle inequality theorem. The theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Verify Triangle Formation: Step 2: Since all conditions of the triangle inequality are met, the sides can indeed form a triangle.
