Question

Which three lengths could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 15 cm, 9 cm, 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The three lengths that could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle, must satisfy the following condition;

---sum of any two smaller sides chosen must be equal to the third side.

Test option A : 6 cm + 11 cm = 17 cm  ( 17 cm ≠ 23 cm)

Test option B: 10 cm + 15 cm = 25 cm (25 cm ≠ 24 cm)

Test option C: 6 cm + 6 cm = 12 cm (12 cm ≠ 22 cm)

Test option D: 15 cm + 9 cm = 24 cm (24 cm = 24 cm) ---correct option.

Thus, the three lengths that could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle are 15 cm, 9 cm, and 24 cm
