Which set of numbers CANNOT represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

A.) 7, 9, 13

B.) 8, 19, 11

C.) 8, 6, 7

D.) 9, 11, 16

Respuesta :

B is the answer because if you use the triangle equality theorem .The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. And 11 plus 8 is not greater than 19

The numbers of sets which cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle are 8, 9, 11.

We have to determine

Which set of numbers cannot represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

According to the question

The length of sides which can not form a triangle is determined in the following steps given below.

What is the triangle?

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

1. The length of the triangle is 7, 9, 13.

The sum of two lengths is 7 + 9 = 16

The sum of the two lengths 16 is greater than the third side length 13 triangle then the sides form a triangle.

2. The length of the triangle is 8, 19, 11.

The sum of two lengths is 8 + 11 = 19

The sum of the two lengths is 19 greater than the third side 19 triangles then the sides do not form a triangle.

3.  The length of the triangle is 8, 6, 7.

The sum of two lengths is 8 + 6 = 14

The sum of the two lengths is 14 greater than the third side 7 triangles then the sides form a triangle.

4.  The length of the triangle is 9, 11, 16.

The sum of two lengths is 9 + 11 = 20

The sum of the two lengths is 20 greater than the third side 16 triangles then the sides form a triangle.
