Answer 10

(i) Length of sides of a triangle are 4 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm
We know that sum of any two sides of a triangle is greatar than its third side But 4 + 3 = 7 cm
Which is not possible
Hence to construction of a triangle with sides 4 cm, 3 cm and 7 cm is not possible.
(ii) Length of sides of a triangle are 9 cm, 7 cm and 17 cm
We know that sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side Now 9 + 7 = 16 < 17 ∴ It is not possible to construct a triangle with these sides.
(iii) Length of sides of a triangle are 8 cm, 7 cm and 4 cm We know that sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side Now 7 + 4 = 11 > 8
Yes, It is possible to construct a triangle with these sides.
