Answer to Problem 2CYU
No a triangle will not be formed with the given side lengths.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given sides of the triangle are:
Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Check if
As the side of the third length is not greater than the sum of the first and second, so the triangle cannot be formed with the given sides.
Hence, a triangle will not be formed with the sides
