Question

Which BEST describes the construction of a triangle if given the segment lengths of 10 cm, 5 cm, and 4 cm? A) Unique triangle B) Cannot be determined C) Triangle not possible D) More than one triangle

Answer 1

C) Triangle not possible

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

5 + 4 < 10; therefore, this is not a triangle.
