To determine

TO-DETERMINE if the given side lengths form a triangle using triangle inequality theorem.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 26E

Option C forms a triangle using the triangle inequality theorem.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

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

Three options are given along with their sides-

a.  4,5,104,5,9 c. 4,5,7

Calculation:

As per the theorem,

  x+y>zx+z>yy+z>x

Now check for all the three options given

Option a- 4,5,10

Let x=4,y=5,z=10

  x+y>z gives 4+5>10

Now add and check-

  9>10 which is incorrect.

So, option a cannot form a triangle using the inequality theorem.

Option b- 4,5,9

Let x=4,y=5,z=9

  x+y>z gives 4+5>9

Now add and check-

  9>10 which is incorrect.

So , option b cannot form a triangle using the inequality theorem.

Option c- 4,5,7

Let x=4,y=5,z=7

  x+y>z Gives 4+5>7

Now add and check-

  9>7 which is correct

Now with the other two equations as well

  x+z>y Gives 4+7>5

Now add and check-

  11>5 which is correct

  y+z>x Gives 5+7>7

Now add and check-

  12>5 which is correct

So, option c fulfills the inequality theorem.

Conclusion- Since option c fulfils the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle which is greater than the length of the third side.

Hence, option c forms a triangle using inequality theorem.
