Which of the following combinations would be three sides of a triangle

Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 5, 16, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of any two triangle sides must be greater or equivalent to the length of the third side. Only in the situation of a degenerate triangle with collinear vertices can that sum equal the length of the third side. If the sum of the two sides equals the third side, the two sides will coincide with the third side, preventing the formation of a triangle. Remember, for the triangle to form, the sum of the two sides must be greater than the sum of the third side.

5+16 > 20     ------>    21 > 20  ------> Correct

16-5 < 20      ------>    11 < 20   ------> Correct
