Which best describes the triangle or triangles, if any, that can be formed with sides, measuring 60 cm, 100 cm, and 40 cm?

Answer 1

The triangle with sides measuring 60 cm, 100 cm, and 40 cm cannot be formed. The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the remaining side. In this case, 60 + 40 = 100, which is equal to the length of the longest side. Therefore, it violates the triangle inequality theorem and no triangle can be formed.

Answer 2

Which best describes triangle or triangles if any that can be formed with sides measuring 60 cm, 100 cm and 40 cm? Responses
