Question

Help? which one should I choose

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

For 3 sides to be able to form a triangle, we need to check that the 2 shorter sides can "touch" when "stemming" out of the long side.

The long side has length 7cm, so the sum of 2 shorter sides must be bigger than 7cm for them to "touch". Note: if the sum was 7cm, the only way they would touch is if they were laid along the long side, so it would not be a triangle - it would be a segment.

Fortunately, 3cm + 5cm > 7cm, so we can form a triangle.
