Sally says it is possible to draw a triangle with these side length
5cm, 5cm, 12cm
Is she correct?
Explain how you know


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side of a triangle cannot be longer than the sum of the two shorter sides. So if the 5cm and 12cm sides are the shorter sides, the third one cannot be longer than the 17cm. ... So 12cm is not longer than 5cm plus the length of the third side, and therefore the missing side cannot be shorter than 7cm.
