Estimate the value of
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 the range using the inequality of triangle.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Check the range using the inequality of triangle.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Check the range using the inequality of triangle.
It is seen the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side in all cases.
Hence, the triangle can be drawn.
