Answer:
1. Not possible
2. Possible
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to form a triangle, the two shorter sides must add up to be larger than the third side.
5 + 8 < 15
Therefore, 5, 8, and 15 are not possible side lengths of a triangle.
10 + 12 > 20
10, 12, 20, however, are possible side lengths of a triangle.
[tex]\huge\boxed{Hello\;there!}[/tex]
Remember, in order for a triangle to be real, the sum of its two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side.
Here, we have
5 in, 8 in, 15 in.
5+8=13 in, and 13 isn't larger than 15, so it's not possible for a triangle to have sides with these lengths.
Let's try the next one:
10 cm, 12 cm, 20 cm.
10+12=22
22>20, so it [tex]\bold{IS}[/tex] possible to have a triangle with the given lengths.
