Question

Which group of lengths is used to form a triangle?

  1. 3, 3, 5
  2. 4, 2, 2
  3. 3, 2, 1
  4. 1, 2, 1

hintHint:

We know that in a triangle, the sum of two sides should be greater than the third. So, to find the group of lengths we will check each option, the one which satisfies the theorem will be the group of lengths that can make the triangle. 

The correct answer is: 3, 3, 5


    We know that in a triangle, the sum of two sides should be greater than the third.
