Question

Is it possible to construct a triangle with side lengths of 6 yards, 7 yards, and 15 yards? Why or why not?. . A.. No, because 6 + 7 > 15.. B.. Yes, because 6 + 7 < 15, 7 + 15 < 6, and 6 + 15 < 7.. C.. No, because 6 + 7 < 15.. D.. Yes, because 6 + 7 > 15, 7 + 15 > 6, and 6 + 15 > 7.

Answer 1

The triangle inequality theorem states that a side of a triangle cannot be greater than the sum of the other two sides.The sums of the pair of sides are shown: 6 + 7 = 13, 7 + 15 = 22, and 6 + 15 = 21. Therefore, the answer to this item is letter "C. no, because 6 + 7 < 15".
