6. Which three lengths CANNOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?

A.25 m, 16 m, 10 m
B. 15 m, 13 m, 12 m
C. 18 m, 5 m, 10 m
D. 8 m, 8 m, 15
I think its A
And if I'm wrong please explain the answer

Damn Lilly popped off 😂

why yall responding years late, she prob grautdete cuzz Xxddd

To have a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.

look at C

5+10< 18

all the others form a triangle

Ok, sorry I was just hurrying to finish it so I didn't read anything... Thanks anyways.

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 5 and 12. Which inequalities represent the possible lengths for the third side, x?

LMAO DANG

To determine which three lengths cannot be the sides of a triangle, we need to apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem. According to this theorem, for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must always be greater than the length of the remaining side.

Let's check each option:

A. 25 m, 16 m, 10 m:

Sum of two shorter sides = 16 m + 10 m = 26 m
The length of the longest side = 25 m

Since 26 m is greater than 25 m, this option satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, option A can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

B. 15 m, 13 m, 12 m:

Sum of two shorter sides = 13 m + 12 m = 25 m
The length of the longest side = 15 m

Since 25 m is equal to 15 m, this option also satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, option B can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

C. 18 m, 5 m, 10 m:

Sum of two shorter sides = 5 m + 10 m = 15 m
The length of the longest side = 18 m

Since 15 m is less than 18 m, this option does not satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, option C cannot be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

D. 8 m, 8 m, 15 m:

Sum of two shorter sides = 8 m + 8 m = 16 m
The length of the longest side = 15 m

Since 16 m is greater than 15 m, this option satisfies the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Therefore, option D can be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Based on the analysis, the three lengths that cannot be the sides of a triangle are given by option C (18 m, 5 m, 10 m).

Therefore, your initial intuition is not correct. The correct answer is C.

I have been waiting for over 30 minutes, I already sent my work, I didn't have any more time to wait.. I thought this was a site that tutored people... I have not got any help since I used this site..
