12. Determine whether the given measures can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Write yes or no. Explain.

8.5, 13, 19.1

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the sum of any two sides is greater than the third.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether the provided sides are the sides of a triangle check if the sum of two sides is more than the third side.

The length provided are: 8.5, 13 and 19.1.

• Consider the sides 8.5 and 13:

        The sum is:

        $8.5+13=21.5$

        This sum is greater than the third side 19.1

• Consider the sides 8.5 and 19.1:

        The sum is:

        $8.5+19.1=27.6$

        This sum is greater than the third side 13

• Consider the sides 13 and 19.1:

        The sum is:

         $13+19.1=32.1$

        This sum is greater than the third side 8.5

Thus, the sides 8.5, 13 and 19.1 are sides of a triangle.
