Chang knows one side of a triangle is 13 cm.
Which set of two sides iS possible for the lengths of the other two sides
of this triangle?
• 5 cm and 8 cm
• 6 cm and 7 cm 7
• 7 cm and 2 cm
•8 cm and 9 cm

Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Explanation :

The other 2 sides added have to be greater than 13

Option A: 5 + 8 = 13. 13 is not greater than 13 so it's not the answer.

B: 6 + 7 = 13. Same thing as option A

C: 7 + 2 = 9. 9 is less than 13 so not the answer.

D: 8 + 8 = 16. 16 is greater than 13 so D is the correct answer.

hope this helps!

The two other possible length of a triangle with one side as 13 cm are 8 cm and 9cm.

What are triangles?

Triangles are plane figure with three straight sides and three angles. The sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Therefore, a triangle with sides x, y and z  follows the following rule;

  • x + y > z
  • y + z > x
  • x + z > y

Since Chang know one side of the triangle, the two other possible length are as follows;

  • 8 cm and 9cm

Prove:

  • 8 + 9 > 13
  • 9 + 13 > 8
  • 8 + 13 > 9
