    No it is not more than 19cm

    NO

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Draw a triangle and label the sides a, b and c. Now we must know the rule you can use for drawing any triangle:

    A+B> c

    A+C>B

    B+C>A

    Sub you numbers into the rule:

    8+10, is it greater that 19?

    No, 8+10=18 and 18<19

    This is proof that you can not draw a triangle with the side lengths of 8m, 10m and 19m.

    1- find triangle construct or not by the help of

    Triangle Inequality Theorem

    according to theorem sum of two side is always greater than third side

    let a,b, c are side of triangle

    a+b>c

    b+c>a

    a+c>b

    question no 1 -

    8+10 >19

    but it's not greater than 19

    so answer is no

    question no 7,8,9 solve by this method

    question no 2-

    4+7 > third side

    third side less than 11

    if we take 3 as third side

    3+4 greater than 7 but here it's equal

    so third side is greater than 3

    then range 3< x <11

    question 3rd solve by this method

    for question 5,

    large angle opposite side large

    question 5 -

    df>de>ef

    question 6-

    large length opposite side large

    b>a>c

    Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of the shorter sides is greater than the longest side.

    1 + 15 > 15

    Therefore, these side lengths can form a triangle.  Specifically, an acute isosceles triangle.

    No, it is not possible to construct a triangle that has side lengths 4 m, 5 m, and 9 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Longest side in a Triangle is going to be the hypotenuse. For these values to construct a triangle, they would need to give us a value of 9m when plugged into the Pythagorean Theorem Formula, which is the following,

    [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

    in which c would be the hypotenuse. If we plug in 4m and 9m (as the hypotenuse) we can see what value side b would need to be for this triangle to be constructed.

    [tex]4^{2} + b^{2} = 9^{2}[/tex]

    [tex]16 + b^{2} = 81[/tex]

    [tex]b^{2} = 65[/tex][tex]b = 8.062[/tex]

    Seeing as how b is equal to 8.062m and not 5m we can safely say that you can NOT construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

    I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at

    We can not construct a triangle that has sides length 2 inches, 3 inches and 6 inches. It is because of the triangle inequality rule.

    The triangle inequality rule states that all pairs of the values should be greater than the other side.

    So for example 2 + 6 is greater than 3, similarly 3 + 6 is greater than 2, but 2 + 3 is not greater 6 so we can not construct a triangle with these sides as it does not obeys the triangle inequality rule.

    I hope that this answer helps.

    No

    Step-by-step explanation:

    No, because two side added up have to be greater than the other one. 5+5 is not greater than 10, it is equal.

    Hence, it doesn't work.

    (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Hope this helped! Have a great day! 🙂 ♥

    Please, please give brainliest, it would be greatly appreciated, I only need one more before I advance, thanks!
