Question

State if the three numbers can be the measure of the sides of a triangle.
5,8,4

Answer 1

Answer:

4, 5 and 8 can be measures of the sides of a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ≤ b ≤ c are the measure of sides of a triangle, then a + b > c.

We have: a = 4, b = 5 and c = 8.

Check inequality:

a + b = 4 + 5 = 9

c = 8

9 > 8 CORRECT  (a + b > c)
