To find: The possibility of forming a
Answer to Problem 40PPS
The triangle cannot be drawn.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The coordinates of the points are:
Formula used:
Calculate the length of JK using the distance formula,
Calculate the length of KL using the distance formula,
Calculate the length of JL using the distance formula,
Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Check the range using the inequality of triangle.
It is seen the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is not greater than the third side in this cases.
Hence, the triangle cannot be drawn.
