Sagot :

6ft, 6ft, and 12ft !

The sets of side lengths that can produce a triangle are

  • 2 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm
  • 2 m, 5 m, and 7 m
  • 6 ft, 6 ft, and 12 ft

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than or equal to the third side.

That is, in a given triangle of sides a, b and c,

a + b ≥ c

Analysing the sets of the side lengths given,

In triangle 2 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm,

2 + 6 = 8,

Therefore 8cm which is greater than the third side being 7cm makes this side lengths possible to produce a triangle.

In triangle 2 m, 5 m, and 7 m,

2 + 5 = 7

Addition of both sides of the triangle is equal to the third side being 7m.

In triangle 6 ft, 6 ft, and 12 ft,

6 + 6 = 12

Addition of both sides of the triangle is equal to the third side being 12ft

Therefore the sets of side lengths could produce a triangle are

2 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm

2 m, 5 m, and 7 m

6 ft, 6 ft, and 12 ft
