Answer:
Perimeter: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW......W = A/L
A = 5/8
L = 10
W = (5/8) / 10
W = 5/8 * 1/10
W = 5/80 = 1/16
The sides must be long enough to make a triangle. (If the sides are not long enough, they won't meet, so cannot form a triangle.)
_____
If your version of the triangle inequality includes the "or equal to" case, then the segments must be long enough to meet, even though the result may look like a line segment.
