Question

Could 10.3cm 4.4cm and 8.3 cm be the side lengths of a triangle yes or no

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

As you probably know, triangles have 3 sides. The longest side is called the hypotenuse. In this case, the hypotenuse is 10.3. Now, you might or might not know the pythagorean theorem, which states that the a² + b² =c ².

In this case, we can say that 4.4 is a and 8.3 is b. Now if we square 4.4 and add it to 8.3 squared, we get 88.25. However, if you square 10.3, you get 106.09. Thus, the values cannot be this way. So, your answer is no.
