Question

The links of two sides of a triangle are 4‘7‘ which could not be the length of the third side

Answer 1

SOLUTION

There's a rule that states, the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

$\begin{gathered} 7+4=11 \\ \text{Comparing 11 to the options given, we will find out that } \\ 11>4\text{ (could be the third side)} \\ 11>5\text{ (could be the third side)} \\ 11>7\text{ (could be the third side)} \\ 11<13\text{ (could NOT be the third side)} \end{gathered}$

The correct answer is D: 13
