Q. 20
The length of two sides of a triangle are 7 cm and 9 cm. The length of the third side may lie between
A. 1 cm and 10 cm
B. 2 cm and 8 cm
C. 3 cm and 16 cm
D. 1 cm and 16 cm
Answer :
Difference of 2 sides of triangle is always smaller than the 3rd side of triangle
Difference = 9cm – 7cm = 2cm
∴ 3rd side must be greater than 2cm
And
Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than 3rd side of triangle
Sum = 9cm + 7cm = 16cm
∴ 3rd side must be smaller than 16cm
Hence;
Appropriate option comes out to be (C). 3 cm and 16 cm
