Question

The segments shown below could form a triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Here three segments have been given of length of 8, 7, 15 and we have to tell whether a triangle will be formed or not.

Since we know a triangle is only possible when sum of two sides is greater than the third side.

That means in the segments A,B,C

(A+B) > C ⇒ (8+15) > 7

(B+C) > A ⇒ (15+7) > 8

(A+C) > B ⇒ (8+7) not greater than 15

Therefore Option B. False is the answer.

Answer 2

False because 7+8=15. The two sides need to add up to more then the hypotenuse
