Sides of a Triangle
July 28th, 2006 . by Vanaja
Today let’s discuss one problem from geometry.
I‘ll ask you one question. What is the area of a right triangle with sides 4cm 5cm and 9cm? Before trying to answer, please read the question once more.
Answer
It is not possible to make a triangle with the given measurements.
In a triangle, the sum of the two sides will be greater than the third side. Here in this case sum of two sides 4cm+5cm=9cm, which is not greater than the third side of measurement 9cm.
