Which of the following options does NOT give the lengths of three sides of any triangle?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 18, 23, 41
Length of Triangle 1 = 12, 18, 25
Length of Triangle 2 = 18, 23, 41
Length of Triangle 3 = 7, 10, 12
Length of Triangle 4 = 4, 7, 9
Sum of two sides of triangle > Third Side
For Triangle 1 -
12 + 18 = 30 > 25
This is a true condition for a triangle.
For triangle 2 -
18 + 23 = 41 >/ 41
This is a false condition for a triangle.
For triangle 3 -
7 + 10 = 17 > 12
This is a true condition for a triangle.
For triangle 4 -
4 + 7 = 11 > 9
This is a true condition for a triangle.
