Question

can you make a triangles with side measures: 2, 3, 8
i am not sure.
no
yes

Explanation:

Step1: Apply triangle inequality theorem

For three side lengths \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) (\(a\leq b\leq c\)), the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side. Here \(a = 2\), \(b=3\), \(c = 8\).

Step2: Check the sum of the two shorter sides

Calculate \(a + b=2 + 3=5\).

Step3: Compare with the longest side

Since \(5<8\) (i.e., \(a + b

Answer:

B. No
