Question

Chang knows one side of a triangle is 13 cm. Which set of two sides is possible for the lengths of the other two sides
of this triangle?
O 5cm and 8 cm
O 6 cm and 7 cm
O 7 cm and 2 cm
8 cm and 9 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice D - 8cm and 9cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other sides are not greater than 13.

A: 5 + 8 = 13

B: 6 + 7 = 13

C: 7 + 2 = 9

However, D is greater than 13 and is the correct answer.

D: 8 + 8 = 16.

Answer 2

Option d: 8 cm and 9 cm.

There is a theorem in mathematics stating:

" The sum of length of two sides of any triangle is greater than the rest third side"

According to that theorem, first three given options cant form the sides of the given triangle whose one side is 13 cm.

The 4th option has 8 cm and 9 cm for which we have:

8 + 9 > 13

Thus this option follows the theorem.

Hence fourth option is correct.
